Australian team wrangles 102 venomous snakes from backyard

Quite a nest 'o lil' vipers there!!!

My older brother and I used to catch snakes as kids when summer holidaying at grandparents in the countryside.

Red bellied black snakes were among them and as I recall they were fairly quiet.

One time when bringing a shoe box of little ones back to the city on a long haul bus, a couple escaped in the bus but we never told anyone.

Not quite "snakes on a plane" - but close to it for 11 / 12 year olds.

New Zealand has no snake, not a single one, nor venomous spiders. Just lots if leechy Labor politicians.

The red belly snake does grow to2 or more metres and the bite will put you in hospital.

But....it is said, they fight eastern brown snakes, a super venomous snake.

The brown has more venom but smaller fans that cant penetrate the red bellys scales....reddies often win the battle.

I,m not scared of the reddies...petrified of the death causing eastern brown though.
