none in the yard as yet, but passed about three dead ones on the road in last day or so, and neighbors had a couple of biggies in their shed.

Yep, the house python that lives in the shed has grown at least a foot this year and the browns/ blacks are out and about, hangin' around the dam. Kookas should keep them down a bit. Must remember to check the chook shed wire tomorrow. More concerned about foxes hereabouts. Ta for the reminder.

A freinds wife mentioned the other day she saw 3 on the way to picking up one of the kids down the road.
It'll probably be a big year for them because of the rain. Everything is breeding up, more food more predators.

Yep breeding season. However I haven't seen as many this year as last year. This time last year we had a new cat that was the first hunter out of the 4 cats we have had. First week we had him he brought 4 snakes home
Unfortunately he was a very active cat that raced around the neighborhood and is now a flat cat which surprised me, I was sure he was going to be someones dinner.

Saw a dead Brown on my lunch time pushy ride today. We've only had a couple of warmiush days...still pretty cold at night too.
It's nice to be me.
I'm the only one.

Yep, we have had a family of Brown Tree snakes living under our high set house for a number of years now, very active at the moment. They only come out at night and they must have a particular scent because our red heeler lets us know when one is around before she can even see it. They are no trouble and we even think they might keep some of the other more dangerous species away from the house area as well as rodents.Every year we find the shed skins stuck on a floor joist or drain pipe, the biggest is about 1.8

I have an effective snake repellent spray that works well, haven't had to use it this year yet but we get some big tigers.

A snake spray? Let me see now, little balls of metal spraying out of a 12G tube?
I'm keen to know of any other kind of snake spray though.Buzza.

Saw some of these at Atherton, lady said she keeps them to keep the snakes down,
they can kill a Tiapan in 4 minutes.

I HATE GUINEA FOWL Horrible noisy things.
They kick up a ruckus if they spot a snake, a goanna, a leaf move.
Nice peaceful bush, lovely night and then those blasted horrible birds start making a ruckus. Neighbor has them, and they freerange (as most guinea fowl tend to do, you cant catch the buggers short of using a cast net) of course they freerange on our block as it has treesOf course, goannas love the fact that they freerange and leave nice nests of eggs everywhere!
I'd rather have the snakes.
On the subject of snakes, we've had a couple of visits by a couple of tree snakes in the last week.
