The most scary thing is that some very poisones Australian (some in South Africa as well) look much like some harmless snakes in the U.S.A.

Soooo...That's where St. Patrick sent all those snakes.

We get to claim the Diamond Back Rattle Snake. Don't know about the Eastern variety, but the Western Diamond Back can reach as much as 6 feet in length.

What brand to you recommend? Does it come as a roll-on or spray - pump or aerosol?

I use my 45/410 derringer as snake remover with the heavy field loads of #7 shot. I haven't met a snake yet that could swallow that.

The Western Australian Tiger snake is a venoumous snake found in the southern half of Australia. Just sharing this incredible photo her friend took in Esperance Western Australia on the farm today.

This snake is #7 on the list...just looking at him you can tell that he is an evil mean wicked and nasty bastard!!!

Native animals mate. Having said that, if you are in a position where you have to kill one because your safety is threatened you wouldn't have too many, if any, legal problems mate. The other too is, you have to be caught. Wink

thats a interesting variaty of barbed wire.......that would work well around prisons.....actually you might be on to something there Vince........ I hear Donald is about to build a plurry great long wall,that type of wire would be most effective in detering illegals from crossing and any that tried would take care of the feeding issues/requirements.
