poor snake if it was just a harmless tree snake, but since it was a venemous elapid i wouldnt worry too mush. as harsh as it sounds it better him to die than you or your grandmother to die

i disagree shouldnt matter there still as important and if she was fit enough to kill it then would have probably survived the quick trip to the hospital POOR SNAKE no matter what kind it is!!

id have to agree.... as much as i love my snake i have seen my fair share of dugites and tiger snakes meet an untimely death on the farm. my cousin was bitten by a baby dugite when he was little and take it from me its not something i care to see again... i think i can understand why youur grandmother freaked out a little bit, instinct and all that... and it WAS venomous.

Yep. If she was quick enough and strong enough to kill it, then she would have been quick and strong enough to walk away. It takes more effort to kill it, than it does to walk away.

But i understand her wanting it dead, for safety reasons.

 

[stretch101]

strong enough? did u see the size of the snake? it wasnt like it was a monster haha wouldnt of taken much

 

[serpenttongue]

Yeah, but she still had to lift the shovel!

people don't get bitten by snakes they are walking away from

This little guy was picked up from a hospital in Western Sydney a few years back.

Unfortunately the the person didn't walk away. They really should have.
