solar snake repellent

[JasonL]

maybe the snake repellent would also "work" on drop brears

They're up in the trees, so you have to turn the device upsidedown, the fact that the solar panel is now faced away from the sun should not effect the function at all....... thats unless a drop bear comes into your yard, then clearly you have a faulty device.

Its all right people - only works on poisonous snakes, venomous seem safe

it just so happens a friend of my daughter has just ordered 3 of them. He didn't want to buy the big bridge I have for sale up in sydney but he did agree to let me borrow one when they arrive to run a test in with some of my tigers etc. He also told me he was told (seriously) they are NOT affective on CAPTIVE snakes. Obviously you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

I was going to test this device outdoors with it set up as instructed but the weather down here is still too winter like even for local species so in tank had to do.
I dissassembled it to a certain extent but this would not effect it's operation in any way. The only bit missing is a short aluminium tube which fits between the top solar array and the tapered tip containing the vibrator.
The unit vibrates for about a 2 seconds in a cycle of about ten seconds. It was in with one of my tigers and he spent the best part of an entire afternoon snoozing with his head resting on the tip. There was no reaction to the switching on and off at all. I think the only way this device is going to repel a snake is if you keep it handy and throw it at the next snake that comes along.

pfft... you tampered with it's special operation system obviously... That tube is it's secret, without it makes it useless...

Funny you should say that. It's exactly what the guy that loaned it to me said. He was also told by the seller that the device will not work on captive snakes, guess they were right.

With this thing there is "No need to spread expensive, potentially dangerous and for the most part ineffective chemicals around your home".

What are these snake-repelling chemicals I wonder? Napalm would work, I guess. But this is my favourite from their site:
Even if you are just renting a holiday house for a few weeks or months, it is a great idea to take along some repeller units, as the effect is immediate, and can easily be installed in minutes or packed up and taken home until the next time. Then you can enjoy your rest with worrying about the local snakes. Take them with you in your camper / motorhome and install them wherever you stop for a while . If you plan a cookout place some units around the area to ensure a trouble free day.

Love that youtube vid
