i was walking behind target along the road at gunnedah today when my almost 4yo son reached for a dead brown snake in the gutter that i hadnt even seen, if it wasnt dead he would have been bitten, i lost a good ten years off my life i swear, i think from his first reaction he thought it was a toy, it was roughly 60cms long
i was totally gutted as i have never let my kids have toy snakes or toy guns i just dont think they are a good toy and i drill into my kids everyday the dangers of snakes, we live in the bush and see them often
if someone asked what i thought theyd do if they saw one i would have bet money that neither would have touched it, i have a 6yo girl too, i would have said my kids would run and tell an adult, this is what they have been told to do
i am really distressed about the hole thing, im thinking about selling my snakes till they are older and wiser
i have attached a pic of the snake to show what it looked like
id do a poll but i dont know how, if you think your child would or not
