Fascinating creatures.
Never killed a snake. No intention to at this stage.
We used to get a lot of snakes, mainly brown snakes, in a small town called Brewarrina where I grew up.
My parents had a Motel across the road from a river and weir, which was next to a little wildlife reserve.
The snakes used to make there way over to us. From the age of about 10 I would always grab the shovel, pick up the snake and throw it over the fence to the reserve. My Mum used to have kittens and Dad thought I was mad.
Well mate I have a few rellos around there, some just over the bridge (the late Uncle Archie Moore family and extended clan). I stayed at the motel in 2000 and it has/is being refurbished. BTW might you know the story of the stone fisheries (Biaimie's Ngunnhu), currently indicated at abt 40K BCE.
Yeah snakes are just part of the food chain and I certainly don't get vindictive abt them.
