THE SNAKE
Snakes are a part of Australia and they range throughout the entire country as well as in the sea a few are poisonous and a few are not but can still give a nasty bite.
Snakes do not go looking for people to bite they generally look for insects and small animals and eggs to feed on ,snakes love eggs in the case of the pythons the big ones can go for larger animals such as pigs , kangaroos and any other unlucky creature that falls in their grasp.
Pythons kill by wrapping themselves around their prey and slowly suffocate by constricting the body blocking off the airways.
Most people living in Australia never get to see a snake in their entire lives apart from the zoo but for many living in the bush and those living near the bush in the cities snakes can be seen and at times too close to homes for comfort.
Generally snakes will avoid contact but if cornered they will attack so if you see a snake leave it well alone and it will leave you alone if there is one in your home or another urban environment call a professional to catch it .
Never try and catch one yourself even the pythons for they can give you a nasty bite they can and the last thing you want is to be bitten by a poisonous snake particularly if you are far from medical help.
The most deadly snake in Australia the Taipan can strike over 50 times in what looks like a single bite from a distance they are like a machine gun when it comes to biting .
Death usually follows pretty quickly so leave snakes alone keep your distance and they will keep theirs and remember call a professional snake catcher to remove any snakes on your property.
