As a parent, you have to watch your kids at the best of times but when around long grass and scrub in the Summer, you would be negligent to let a child under 6 out of your sight.
Kids can be taught what to do when they see a snake and this education is as important as making sure your kid has shoes and long pants when in snake friendly areas.
Where i live, copperheads and tigersnakes are commonly found in long grass and near water and a bite from one of these guys can potentially be tragic.
Fortunatly, kids have good eyes and reflexes and are usually able to avoid snakes if they see them first.
I was one of those weird kids that would always catch them,take them home and put them in a tank in my bedroom.

Very true! A quick story from Sydney...
My property backs onto the Ku-Ring-Gai National Park. One day I was at home with one of my children. She was 3 at the time. I was inside the house working on the computer. My was playing in the backyard. After a while, my daughter comes in and is quite upset. She tells me that a blue tongue had been trying to bite her. (We have a lot of blue tongues around the house so I wasn't concerned about it...) I asked her: 'What were you doing to the lizard?' She said: 'I was just trying to help it'. I said: 'Lizards don't need our help sweety, why did you think it needed help?' She said: 'Because he doesn't have any legs'.
I am curious, then I freeze.
Show me the 'blue tongue', I say.
My daughter takes me to the 'blue tongue', only it's not a 'blue tongue'.i
It's a death adder!!!
I reckon that the only thing that saved her that day were the boots she was wearing.
To a child, the two reptiles have very similar body types, colouring and markings.
Eyes on at all times for young ones in Australia + reptile education!

Hi guys I found this out on the road, being attacked by a crow, by the time I pulled over, it was obviously dead with a hole through the top of the head, had been hit by a car, head very well flattened... And it didnt move at all, I was still extremely careful, but I wanted to get an accurate ID on it. I believe it's an eastern brown, about 2-3 ft long olive coloured scales with a bluish hue to it. It's belly scales are a creamy colour with orange brown blotches... It was found in Ipswich SE QLD....

How old is the Dugite Pseudo? Not to common with the banding I wonder if it will remain as the snake gets older.
Not to common in collections either
Here's one I found while out this morning.
