Snakes and cats

When I was gathering up my husband's dirty clothes, from the floor NEXT to the laundry basket in the bedroom the other day, I found this dreadful slithering thing under them. 
I thought at first it was a strange rubber band. 
But then realised and ran to get a knife to kill it. 
Instead I ended up with BBq tongs and an empty chook bucket.


It is a highly venomous curl snake or Myall snake.
Only a baby, about 15cm long. still deadly.
Many jokes were made about snakes and undies etc etc.



I am still more worried about the mother who gave birth to it alive!

Pussy cat is perhaps a bit too old at 14 and not many teeth to keep on top of the baby snakes these days. Still I would hate to lose him to a snake bite in the mouth.


He sleeps most of the day. Or watches TV!



Hhhhmn, Might have to look for a more lively fresh puddy tat!

  1. Snakes ... I can tolerate them in the paddock, but definitely don't like them in my territory!

    1. I can't cope with them anywhere! I'm always terribly worried about them and my little doggies.
      I think a few of my snake erators might have stopped working with water in them.
