Especially red-bellied blacks - they stalk me I tell you! When I worked for forest research, there'd always be one curled around the first measure tree in every plot - a great way to start the day. for some reason we had a measure plot that *had* to be measured each season ... so you can guess just how much fun the spring measure was.... They *infest* the shed at the farm and I still have nightmares from watching my BIL kill one and then notice a tail in the RBB's mouth, which he pulled on and removed 2ft tree snake from a 2.5 ft RBB! One even crossed teh highway in front of our car last weekend ... ugghhhhhh. hate Hate HATE snakes.

Lots of people do I guess but I'm not one of them. Thankfully only the little garden snake comes around here and even it is shy thanks to my garden cats keeping watch. No red bellied snake but we do have red legged frogs. :) I'm glad you were able to see it and it saw you and slithered away. I don’t like snakes. Lots of people do I guess but I’m not one of them.

When my daughter and I walked here in the desert when she was small, we always carried a walking stick. We have rattle snakes here, but I believe they are the only poisonous snake in our region and thanks to that rattle one usually hears them first. He is quite beautiful, but a deadly sort of beauty.
