Has anyone else had problems with snake catchers? They charge you a fortune and then they don't even catch the damn thing.
Somewhere running (or should I say slithering) around our neighbourhood is a lovely and very deadly brown snake.
He had it in his reach quite a few times, but he was obviously as scared as what we were. However when he had finished his attempt at Swan Lake (or should I say Snake Lake) he held out his hand and demanded the cash for the joy of watching his performance .
I now walk around the garden wearing steel toe caps, full body armour and a helmet that makes me look like Ned Kelly . Probably the little brown snake has now slithered to another neighbourhood by now, or perhaps he was working alongside the snake catcher to make as much money as possible.
The snake catcher who was featured on the Wanted Down Under programme on telly was in Perth as far as I can remember, but I do know exactly what you mean. He was prancing about in front of the camera - an elderly geezer, he was - making like he was Steve Irwin. He came across more like Wol in Crocodile Dundee, however.
BullcreekBob is the expert on snake catching on here...... He may know of a DIY method. You could try a PM to him.

Thanks for that, but not keen on the DIY bit. We found a Geeko in the house last night and at first glance I was convinced it was a baby brown snake. I immediately locked the dog and daughter in the bedroom just in case it was a brown snake that could open doors . Not that I'm paranoid or anything, but I think I may need psychological help now .
What is a 'geeko' please? I have looked in all the books but cannot find such a creature.

Says it all really.....
Is it rumour or fact that you, Mrs T, ignored your very intelligent daughter when she first told you that there was a snake in the yard...? I think we should be told.:p
Don't get me started on spiders! My poor daughter has turned into a spider whisperer wherever she goes they follow her and try and become very friendly with her. Huntsmen seem to be attracted to her. The best one was the one that ran up the inside of her trousers, but don't worry it was only the size of an extra large cookie. We have the photo's to prove it. Then there's the ones that like to help her open the curtains and play peek a boo. But hey you get used to them. What I really hate is not the deadly stuff or the nasty biting things it's the &*&^^% ants!
Hey what they do where we are is bash the blighters on the head with the biggest shovel they can find - except for a mate of ours who had a 8ft python type curled up in his garage the other week, jesus i need to get muyself some new thongs as im gonna have a big accident if i ever find anything like that lurking near me !!!!
Jo - havent you got a prettier avatar - that one looks like its gonna jump of the computer screen at me
Yes it is true that I did not believe my poor daughter who told me that there was a brown snake in the garden, how did you know that one Mrs Cow.
