Unwanted excitement

This afternoon, when my little terrier was very keen to go outside I looked tthrough the glass door and saw this Redbellied Black snake passing by. When it was heading away from the house I took these images. See also PiPs. The joys of living in a semi-rural area! Redbellies are venemous but not deadly to humans, but are the main cause of canine snakebite, so I hope my terrier doesn't see another when I'm not around!

A risky encounter. Consequences of living in a rural area. I guess. Be safe and healthy, my friend.

In Odisseia channel there are a lot of documentaries about snakes around the world. As a snake lover I look at a lot of them, they show you have quite a lot of different species not all friendly ones. Here we just have non agressive ones, they feed on rodants and fear humans.
Love your excellent photos.************************

These are quite venomous, but not aggressive, Isabel. They normally live near water and feed on frogs.
