Now, my favourite (not) subject.. brown snakes.. they are caramel coloured snakes with small heads and beady eyes.. one bite from them and you?re basically D ? E ? A -D !! They live on properties around here which have a lot of rats ? and being in the area where we consider it to be MACADAMIA capital of Australia, there are a lot of rats ? because rats love Macadamia nuts and therefore scurry around eating them.. they also like to stay in nice warm places like car engines (the rats not the snakes).. The brown snakes come out in summer and look for food, they are not scared of humans. I had one in my mail box once, luckily I saw something moving inside the mailbox so I skooted out of there quick smart! we tried to get it out but it had a rat stuck in its throat ? it was in the middle of eating it when we disturbed it. My hubby got his ?roer? and shot the bladdy thing to smitherines.. and now we don?t have a postbox!
and I didn?t get my mail that day either!
