Full Compost ! Very Full

[Torah]

My mates neighbour popped her head over the fence yesterday to ask if he knew anyone who could remove a snake from her compost ASAP . She wanted it gone or dead and now ! He called a local snakeman and told him to please hurry he came out and began looking for the snake after a little while and 1 RBB , 2RBB , 3RBB , 4 i started feeling a lil uneasy myself and this went on until he was finally satisfied that he had rid her compost of not one or even 4 RBB's but a total of 17 Red Belly Black Snakes all in one compost bin .... Wow I thought . Dont even want to think about whats in mine after seeing that ! Anyway just thought Id share

:shock: Now I love snakes, but that would scare the crap outta me! Just one venomous snake on my property makes me uneasy (which is understandable) let alone 17 :shock:

Thats strange, I didnt know RBB's lived in Indonesia

and i though my grandma was doing well to have 2 browns and a black in her compost heap that is about 6m long and 4m wide

up-price it and sell it off as a snake catching machine... garunteed 17 snakes in your first week or just send it back for a full refund less the postage!

RBB's normally hang around near areas with water not far away as i know there are plenty around Merrimac on the Gold Coast and a friend of mine who is a Dr of Zooology said thats their normal habitat near water. RBB in compost if thats the case doesn't sound likely? can other experts comment on this?

I would think he is a lucky bloketo have all those snakes! he had a decent collection with out rvrn trying

 

[snakeluvver]

Hmm I'd personally prefer something that wouldnt make me crap my pants

 

[lazylizzy]

mje777... : i think anywhere warm and most probably attracts rodents would be fair game for a snake, plus i live no where near water and my place is covered in them

I hate to admit it but im with snakeluvver.Some snakes are nice and some are nasty.The type that make my butt pucker are the nasty ones.

 

[snakeluvver]

I don't think rbbs are nasty, in fact, from what I hear theyre quite placid. But gens just scare me if they're on my property
