hi everyone. i just finished making my 2 snake hooks. i finished making the one made out of a golf club and a tent peg. i needed to polish it because it was rusty and i fiked the hook because it had a dangerous shaped hook. its all beter now. i also made one out of a exstendable radio antena and a coat hanger. someone on this site gave me the idea. any way the exstendable hook is great to use on small snakes in tight spots so i recomend it for anyone with small snakes. its small enough that im going to keep it in my school pencil case.

I was shocked too i can tell you found two guys trying to take to it with a shovel (i was in the army up there) so i was lucky enough to save him and relocate him.
As for other spots the museum and ski club is always good (that bit of scrub behind the ski club is one of the best places) and follow the coast down past the lake and you will turn up something for sure
good luck keep me posted

yes mate it is right in between the two if you head to the ski club there is a road on the right take that stop half way down it and start looking around (be careful near the drain though i know that they pulled a small salty out of there a couple of years ago)
Have fun
