don't get nipped by one of those. Venom is full strength from birth. As an aside visited the folks last week, they weren't home so had to wait. Snake leisurely sunning itself of the veranda. Identified as a Whip Snake. That said supposed to be a nervous reptilian. Hmmm this one didn't give a fark. Not brave enough to approach closer than 3 feet.Snake didn't move. Spent 5 days as non communicating chums. That said there are all manner of snakes on the property. Birds, native rodents, and other reptiles provide an attraction. Funny thing I was in Casino over the weekend and we would have spent a solid hour + on snake stories., The more beer, the better the yarns. Good times
