Only in Oz, Part X

"A monstrous 1.8-metre red-bellied black snake has been captured in south-east Brisbane.

The venomous snake was captured on the Belmont Shooting Range near a large creek system, which is a highly popular environment as the species thrive in a moist habitat."

Another big scary black bastard.

Those fuckers are blacker than Satan's butthole...they scare the crap out of you if you cross paths.

This was caught in a major city.

It was in Brisbane.



However, snakes are present in pretty much all cities. They certainly are in Adelaide.



Brisbane, being sub-tropical and therefore wetter than southern cities, attracts a lot of wildlife. Snakes, lizards, bats, and the worst of all...Queenslanders.

Are red-bellied black snakes the largest snakes in Australia?

[Bricktop]

Oh, no.



This is our biggest.

It's a scrub python.



They are rather friendly and like to make house calls.

That man is brave.

He's a snake wrangler. It's his job.



WHY he wanted to be a snake catcher is another, more perplexing query.

He probably can't sing or dance.

Neither can I, but I'm not going to take hold of a lethal reptile for ANY money.

True, I like the creature comforts the city provides.
