WTF - Snake!

[Chimera]

One time a lady ran over a snake and took it and felt bad and cared for it and he got back to his original state. After getting back @ 100% the snake bites the woman and she dies. At the funeral everyone questioned the snakes actions and the snake simple replied. "She knew I was a snake when she picked me up"

The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung during the trip, but the scorpion argues that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog agrees and begins carrying the scorpion, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion explains that this is simply its nature. The fable is used to illustrate the view that the behaviour of some creatures, or of some people, is irrepressible, no matter how they are treated and no matter what the consequences.
Variations commonly include a farmer, youth, turtle, kangaroo, or fox in place of the frog, and a snake in place of the scorpion. The Farmer and the Viper is a specific variant that can be attributed to Aesop.

think dais a mappipere(sp)

I am afraid i'm thinking the same thing too...they seem to be very aggressive for some reason...other non-poisonous snakes run away if they spot danger...these want to attack...

How do I get rid of them?

[rollingstock]

Non poisonous stop being a pu-c and leave them alone.

What you should be worried about is they hunt rodents, and if you`re seeing a lot you may have a rodent infestation nearby.

[rfari]

Its also called a rat snake not so?

[rollingstock]

Yep, many breeds are called rat snakes locally, they do get pretty big though and are aggressive.

Poisonous Snakes
Head - Triangle - except Cobra
Fangs - Present
Pupils - Elliptical pupil or cat eyes and Slit eyes. The only exception is the coral snake.
Anal Plate - Single row of plates
Bite Mark - Fang Mark


Check out their head shape. Non-venomous snakes have a spoon-shaped rounded head and venomous snakes will have a more triangular head. this is because of the venom glands (this is less noticeable on the coral snake).

Coral snakes. Another beautiful but deadly snake is the Coral snake—so beautiful that other snakes—not-venomous ones such as the King snake—look just like them. They have distinctive coloring, though, with a black, yellow and red bands, a yellow head, and a black band over their nose. One rhyme to help distinguish coral snakes from king snakes is 'Red touch yellow, kill a fellow. Red touch black, friend to Jack.' Another variation is 'Red on black, venom lack; red on yellow, deadly fellow'. However, most of the time coral snakes will not bite - they are very shy.




Looking at a snakes eyes is not a valid way to identify if it is venomous or not. Cobras, Black Mamba's and other types of very venomous snakes have round pupils, while red tailed boas, emerald tree boas and green tree pythons have elliptical eyes. Do not approach an unknown snake just because it has round pupils, it does not mean it is not venomous.

i was reading sumting from the asa nature reserve website, and that said that the head shape is not soo reliable to use, in addition to the patterns, as these vary even more. they say that apart from the corals, the poisonous snakes are pit vipers, so have some small pits between their nostrils and eyes. these pits are used to sense heat. so, if u can determine if there are the little hole between the eyes and nostrils, then they would be the poisonous kinds

but, most snake would bite and that my become infected, so i would try to avoid being bitten by ANY snake.

according to the webz the cat eyed is venomous...to kill prey

and yeh the pest controllers came and realised there is a lady nearby who believes it's her right to mind fowl in she yard...so the snakes/rats going after the eggs it seems

When health inspectors came she said it's her right to grow her own food/mind fowl in a residential area...they told her this is not a farm...and she said she have rights and she is people too.

could spray around house with kerosene or black disinfectant every month.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

when in doubt black disinfectant works well.just sprinkle around your house.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

or if things real bad,ammonia would do the trick.

the ammonia evaporates too fast!
but works well
mix the black disinfectant in some sawdust and sprinkle around premises!
