MerBear Originalsplease reasure me that that photo has been photoshopped!
actually I don't have to go to Australia to see strange animals. A wallaby has been loose in our area for the past 2 wks (Ontario, Canada). He got loose from a local zoo when a snow storm brought down a tree and has been sighted about 5 ks from my home. We've been advised that if we see 'Wendall' we should offer him a banana and then grab him by the base of his tail! I do hope he's found safe soon - the deer hunters are liable to mistake him and I can just see a hunter going home trying to explain about the huge 'mouse' he bagged!!
Padon't think I want to see that in person!

Patsy Lake BearsHe is a good size Christine, hubby ran over one the other week he said it was stretched from one end of the road to the other. Just glad I wasn't in the car with him.
Isn't he a beauty!!! 
I didn't see a snake that big in the 5 years I spent in Australia, but we had a big carpet snake in the garage... he was so neat, and he kept the mice population down! 
What a whopper! - I would not like to be walking along that road.

DoodlebearsWow, he's awesome, what a wonderful snake! I don't think I would want him down my way though.
Hugs, Jane.
Wazza Bears AustraliaWe had that happen when I was 8 years and traveling around aus with a caravan and my parents. We had to go over it. we were at the top of Qld. I still tell my kids about it today.
Studio 44I'm almost on my way to Oz, looking forward to being with our "Grandies" in Buderim for Christmas. We have seen snakes around but never this big. Hope we don't come across such a "biggie" this time.

puca bearsWOW - a real monster of a snake! Reminds me - i never used to be particularly scared of snakes until we were driving up a hill (in Oz) and one almost galloped across the road - I never realised they could move SO fast.........

Benson BearsLast weekend I came inside the house and heard things falling to the floor upstairs, went up to investigate, and at the top of the stairs came eyeball to eyeball with a tigersnake!!! Literally eyeball to eyeball as it was slithering along the beam at the time! YIKES! Think it was after swallows eggs and somehow managed to climb up there with the help of some bales of straw we have staccked against the house. Unfortunatelt we had to dispatch it as we just can't have such a dangerous animal THAT close! 
Wazza Bears AustraliaYIKES Linda A tiger snake in the house. We live next to a paddock and on the other side is wetlands. We see the brownsnakes crossing the road to get to the wetsland. I have never seen one in our yard or in our house, I would freck. I just freck at a sight of a mouse.
Little Bear GuyLinda I would have just died, there would be no way to describe it. I would of had a heart attack right there and fallen backwards down the stairs, likely be dead before I hit the bottom step. I can't stand any kind of snake what so ever, I literally go into shock I stop breathing. It doesn't matter the size usually smaller is worse than bigger.
I have only ever seen two of them in my life in the wild and I freaked out so badly, a couple of yrs ago I saw a dead snake (garder snake we call them here they are not poisonous and not very big) in the middle of the road in our campground. I screamed so loud and broke out into a sweat and ran in the opposite direction, I had to get friends to throw it into the woods so I couldn't see it. ICK ICK ICK. I have no idea what I would do if we came upon that big snake in the middle of the road.

Benson BearsThis was only the second snake we've had in the house in all the years we've lived here, but we do encounter them regularly every Summer about the place. Have to be very careful with the dogs, I tend to stick to the bigger tracks thru the bush when walking them in Summer, so that I can see what lies ahead and alter course if there's a snake about. They always make my heart skip, even though I've learned to expect them. Shane you would have really come a cropper on our "stairs" since we still climb a ladder to get upstairs, yet another thing on the long list of "things to do", maybe by the time I'm too old to use the ladder any longer 
Little Bear GuyUggghhhh I just can't imagine having a snake in the house ewwwwwwwww, I wouldn't be able to sleep lol
Benson BearsWell Shane, they're just a fact of life here. But I really don't like them IN the house, off in the bush is OK, and the garden is pushing it. If you make alot of noise they usually get out of your way, they don't like US much either!! They're at their most dangerous in February/March when they're breeding, they get very agressive and do the whole rearing up at you and hissing bit if cornered! 
Little Bear Guy Hmmm ok so I shouldn't come then after the breeding season or before heehee. I know they do good things and they are a part of nature but for some reason they give me the willies. It's like people who don't like rats or mice hmmmm or Shelli and her hate on for raccoons :crackup: :crackup: . Lizards I can handle I don't want to touch them and I'm leary of them but I can tolerate them.
big hugs
Shane
Country BearsEwwwwww!! Nah, s'ok, I'll stay here if you get snakes THAT BIG!!!
puca bearsOMG, Linda - a tiger snake in the house............... I never met one during my 8 years on Oz, but i aways heard that they are aggressive, so it's just as well!
Snakes here are a lot smaller, and I have rescued a few from our cats (IN the house, SHANE!).........mostly they go quite calm when I pick them up, but i had an experience earlier this year when i came across a Slowworm (legless lizard) in the street, just outside.............it was the biggest one I've ever seen - probably a couple of feet long - and i couldn't leave it there. Picked him up and took him to the nearest patch of waste-ground - and he FOUGHT all the way! Couldn't believe how strong he was - and I must have looked a sight, wrestling a snake all the way down the road!
huggies

Benson BearsI had a heart stopper in the garden at the weekend while digging a veggie patch over, the BIGGEST earthworm I'd ever seen!!! Made me skip a few beats I'd rather like to meet a slowworm, they sound cute . My husband is English and he said this worm reminded him of one.
