have you seen a snake?

Hi, I live in Muriel Court and we seem to have a resident brown snake. It was first spotted in our front yard before Christmas and since then has appeared in three other yards. We also found a snake skin wrapped around our tomato plants and a neighbour found two empty egg sacks under her geranium bushes. There have been at least three attempts by snake handlers to catch this snake, but it is still roaming around.

I have heard some other snake stories in the neighbourhood this year and I'm really interested to hear from anyone who has seen a snake or evidence of one. I've started plotting these sightings on a google map and am curious to see how many snakes there are in our neighbourhood and what sort of range they have. Please email Janet at jmgrigg@bigpond.net.au with your neighbourhood snake stories. Thanks, Janet.

    Could you send one of them around to my place?
    I've got rats.
    I'm in Spring St with a northerly back yard.
    Just as long as it lurks out of the way of my dog or cat, or chooks, or us bipeds for that matter.

    Hey it's Year of the Snake. Not sure if that means anything.

    Yeah, we certainly don't have rats or mice at our place any more!
