    Err I got banned in a chat room for saying "it is a bit cheaper". It removed the space after 'bit' and picked up the ban hammer . Nothing is perfect I guess lol.

    Yep that's Australian. From somewhere in the NT I think. It's wrapped into and biting an electric fence. I'm not sure but I THINK the story went something like the farm-hand had caught that thing stealing lambs and bundled it off the property (most snakes are protected here) but it came back and got caught in the fence after nabbing another one.

    For the snake? Probably. If it gets that down it won't eat again for a long time.

    it'll easily get it down!
    what I wanna know is if the greedy bar-stool actually managed to remain perched up there! I'd actually bet that the un-co wally fell off & into the pool!

    It probably will get it down, too.

    It'd be funny to see it fall though.

    It's not the pythons you have to worry about, it's the Eastern Browns and some of the Taipan (especially the browns). Small (most of the time), aggressive, deadly, and can look like sticks until it's too late

    Spiders are only really a problem if you go sticking un-gloved hands into places without checking first.

    I'll just stay in the eastern USA and be safe thank you very much..
    Worst thing we have here in New Hampshire are the black flies and then the Deer Flies.. Those suckers are shaped like a F14 with it's wings in..
    They do figure 8's around you and aim for the back of your neck.
    We do have black bears that go up to 400lbs but they are more likely to run if they hear you..unless a female with cubs..
    Females don't go over 300lbs but they can run 25-30MPH and will kill you by accident.
    Also Moose here.. Big Males go up to 1000lbs and dumber than dumb.
    No problem unless in rut.
    I actually fed a 3-4 year old male of maybe 700lbs a head of lettuce from my hand.. I did keep a 4ft chain link fence between us. He was right outside the back yard fence..He ate the lettuce, I patted and scratched his nose..
    Calm as could be but they are dumb and powerfull.

    Ahahahahhahaahahhahahahahhahah F14 shaped flies. That's awesome.

    Still, you have a much better chance here with the snakes, spiders and werewolves than some depressed and deranged dude with a gun. With a population of 300 million, there are going to be a larger amount of such loonies and yeah =[.

    snakes - lol - apparently there was one at the paintball field where I played yesterday I went looking for it in hope of being able to shoot @ something other than n00bs!
    Seems like thi has gone into a story thread, haha heres some

    Oooo story for you, went paintballing one time with some buddies, went rather annually, and the owner said watch out for a badger, and he ment it. He tried to smoke it out and flood it out but there were holes all over the speedball field, so we took a walk of the field to see were all the holes were and had a "game plan" if one of us saw it.

    Never did see it tho so it was a bummer.

    In May or June, My father and iI went up to Canada to go fishing with 12 or so other friends of his and there sons. me and 2 other kids are good friends with their maintenance man. got a call on his radio saying there might be a bear around so we went looking, and sure enough there were bear marks on a truck digging through trash. went walking for abit talking and one said omg thre he is, we all thought he was joking when he was being serious, black bear stood on its hind legs to be ~5ft tall, quickly ran after starring at us, and we all went running after him. never saw him again though.
