On sunday I heard a commotion on my front lawn. I discovered that a man just down the street had just killed a 5ft Eastern Brown snake on my neighbors front lawn. I quickly informed the crowd that had gathered that in the future they can ring me and will catch and relocate snakes.
Today on my way home from work I ignored 6 calls from my wife (I was only 5 minutes away) only to discover there was a very large brown in my backyard. I went up behind the shed and found it coiled under some folded black plastic. I then bagged a genuine 6 footer, it was over 2 inches in diameter. here are some pathetic photos of it's release in scrub a couple of kms from home. I do apologise for the quality but I am no photographer and my 4 yr old boy smashed my camera recently so I had to use the neighbour's.
Pic 1: get out ya bugger
Pic 2: finally free
Pic 3: making good it's escape.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why two adult browns in such a short period?
We do have a large paddock a few hundred metres away, and there are a few vacant (unmown) blocks in the cul-de-sac.
