Nandini Millar Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hello all [emoji2]it's me again. With the thought of moving to Brisbane soon too many thoughts are coming to my mind. Everytime when I read news about [emoji216] snakes found in toilet I couldn't imagine how would I react to it either I faint or the snake might faint from my scream and fear haha [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] but please tell me how do I make sure to avoid such stressful situation and are there any ways of telling snakes we (humans) are coming to the toilet and they might want to leave [emoji2955][emoji54] I need to educate my 2 little kids about safety precautions. Do we make noise on the door or play with light switch [emoji23][emoji23] I am scared and confused. Everytime I read news about such situations I even check my toilet in England [emoji849][emoji849][emoji848][emoji848][emoji57][emoji13][emoji13] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure your kids use the correct one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 You probably have a much greater chance of being struck by lightning than finding a snake in the toilet. However, I have prepared this for new Aussies: Always keep the toilet lid down Check inside toilet before sitting on it If snake in toilet, quickly close lid Have on speed dial on your phone the number of the nearest Reptile Rescue service Ring rescuer Rent/buy a house with 2 toilets because, if you wanted to go before, you will want to go even more now - and certainly before rescuer arrives. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Snakes won't bother you if you don't bother them. They are not that common in the suburbs- that is why they make headlines when they actually do appear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed to be treated with care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji3] Thank you so much for your advice. I am pretty sure the first thing I am going to do when I get to Australia is get the phone number of the reptile rescuer [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
