My uncle said much the same and my grandmother always made loads of noise and stamped her feet when we went for a walk over the sand dunes where Adders love to bask. I never saw one with her about.
Quote:Incidentally, if deadly snakes bother you, you don't want to live in Australia, because they have more dangerous kinds of Mr. NoShoulders down there than anywhere in the world.
One reason I didn't want to go visit family out there. My sister-in-law phoned one evening out of the blue, just for a chat, she said. Then she admitted her neighbour phoned her to say a brown snake had been seen heading into her yard and to stay in the house. She watched it from the window make its way across the yard. Then suddenly she said she must go so she could phone the next neighbour, because it was now in her yard.
There is no antidote.
Bush Turkeys are annoying too
