To norperth are you a total moron??? Snakes are here for reasons too! Without them the whole country would be over run with mice, rats and the only animal that can take out a cane toad is a stimpson python! Get a life loser!

wow alot of people really do not get it, if you kill snakes u screw up the ecosystem, by killing all snakes you will loose birds and even some mamals that eat them. also the guy who said other countries have no snakes/ very little numbers of snakes should note nz dosnt have snakes true but it has other animals that eats mice and rats that australia dose not have


people make me sad

That's the trouble with Cannington folk, they give each other Dugites as Christmas presents then, come January, they get bored with them and turn them loose. They should realise that a snake is for life, not just a festive toy.
