Sydney man discovers ‘shock’ 102 red-bellied black snakes in garden
Ahh the joys of living in Australia. The headline in my post title caught my eye this morning.🐍
David Stein called in snake relocators after seeing what he estimated were six red-bellied black snakes on a large mulch pile on his property in the western Sydney suburb of Horsley Park on Friday.
“I was shivering and shaking at the time I saw them,” he said. “Then my wife googled and found that snakes congregate like that when they’re ready to give birth.”Thankfully. In the almost 20 years I have lived in Australia I think I have only seen 2 snakes. Neither of which were in my back garden and both hurriedly slivered off into the bush when they saw me .
Full article and video (shudder 🥴) on the guardian website here.
Bonus fact. I have heard many Aussies refer to snakes as “danger noodles” a great descriptor I recon 😀
Does the wildlife make you more pro to coming to Australia or is it something that puts you off? 🤔
