Australian question for SuN and Yub

What's it like living somewhere with that many damn venomous snakes? I grew up in Texas, and we had a lot of them, but I hear it's nothing compared to what you have there. Do you constantly have to be on the lookout, using sticks to turn over boards and stuff like that? (I can't stand snakes)

It's alright.

No. Snakes are only really a problem in rural areas. I grew up in many of said rural areas and it wasn't really that big a problem....although once at school some girls almost stood on a brown snake mistaking it for a stick. After realising it was a snake, the teacher/principal of that tiny two room school did battle with it using a shovel as a weapon and dispatched it to the snakey afterlife. Snakes will generally keep out of your way and if you don't bother them, they don't bother you.

Now spiders on the other hand...shitloads of spiders, especially redbacks. Plenty of them and they'll kill you quick smart.

That's good, at least about the snakes. In Texas we had some like the Cottonmouth, Copperhead, and Dimondback rattlesnake. The Copperhead is a shy snake but Cottonmouths and Dimondbacks are highly aggressive. And quite poisonous at that. So you have spiders there that can kill a healthy adult? That's scary. We have Black Widows and Brown Recluses here, but unless you're old, a child or infirmed, they're very rarely fatal.
 
I was bullshitting a bit, there's only been around 15 or so deaths to due redbacks IIRC.
 
Yes he was bullshitting....the snakes are everywhere here, u wuld hate it, becoz liek all but 2 are highly venomous, and ur not supposed to kill them :)
They are beautiful though

i love snakes however spider can urn in the hell they came from because of me
 
I was bitten by two brown recluse spiders when I was younger. Little fuckers almost took my thumb, but I thought they were ant bites and popped them and poured peroxide on them. I'd already begun streaking.

And yea, Texas snakes are cocky little shits. Especially cottonmouths. They'll just stare at you like "come on, bitch. You know I'm about to bite your ass if you don't stop looking at me."

Great, now I feel like I've got creepies crawling all over me.

I can't remember if it was Vegas or texas, but one time I spent the spring living in an old RV which had been parked for a while, one of those kind you access the engine from the driver compartment. After sleeping in it the whole spring we decided to see if we could get it to run, popped the engine cover which was literally a couple feet from our heads, and uncovered the hugest nest of black widow spiders I ever saw. There were at least dozens of them, maybe a hundred or more, infesting the engine cavity. We sprayed hell out of it and killed them, but none of us were brave enough to reach in there to tinker with the engine after that, and we got so creeped out we moved soon after. Nobody could sleep...

Frequently. Then I sort of figured out, although she wore black and liked to hit people with her ruler, she wasn't actually a real nun.

Oh I still confessed to her occasionally, just not as often.
