Yeah, they're pretty timid things. We don't get too many blacks around
here, but when we do they're not worth worrying about as they run away
quickly at the first sign of anyone or anything getting anywhere near them.
Browns are the cunts of things. We had another one at the back of the
house last week and the dog ripped it a new one. Fortunately the dog
avoided being bitten (or if it was it got a dry bite), but it looks like
the snake has retreated under by back deck and died under there if the
smell is anything to go by.
