we also get brown snakes and copperheads... not sure about tiger snakes..

im sorry about yor dog! being imaparied. i love me puppies to bits , but you go outside and come back and you where there maybe for a minute or teo and the'll jump all over you. GOOD NEWS! The snake is gone, but there is still a chance for one to hid again... we need to start getting a bit more strict with them, we have been a bit soft because of things happening all around us....

thanx for the advice. I live in the bush so we get heaps of bugs, lizards etc. & that summer is here now snakes are breeding and people here have a lot of animals, coz we have big plots (about 1 acre each). So chooks, birds, minature horses etc. Stuff that would bring mice and that brings the snakes. Since we moved to the mountains about a year and a half ago we still dont know what the snakes are. Our neighbour can easily tell a snake. He said "oh we saw a copperhead a few days ago" and we have no idea what they look like. So i thought i'll try and make a refrence book of snakes for my family and little tips, basic aid etc. I'll pass the advice unto my dad, see what he thinks! Thanx a lot! Do blue tongues actually bite?????????? i didnt know that! can they harm ur dog in anyway? We're lucky in a way the vet is only about 5min away!

yesterday we go an unexpected visitor a snake about 1.5m long, we have no idea what breed it is and we dont know if it is venomous or not. It's got a creamish belly and black top (similar to a red belly black snake). We need to train our dogs (labs) to be cautious if they see one when they're alon and to stay away from it, if possible. Any suggestions would be apprciated! Thanx
