Hi Dale Yes they are one mean snake but my Son seen what was happening just in time and he told the Dog No, and it backed off. It crawled back into the garden and we had to get a garden rake to get it out where we could bring the shovel down on it's head. Luckily it was only a small one but the King Brown one's will attack you and are really best left alone. The cattle dog we had before this one used to bite red bellied black snakes in half and do so twice without being bitten. The dog we have now is a Jack Russel and already this year has killed 4 Blue Tongue Lizards. We do not like it doing so but when it finds them it just rips them up. What was frightening is I just walked through the door and the snake must have been there in the garden at the time. Treading carefully . Regards Ray

Do they rattle? Why wouldn't it strike your dog? Aren't the blind highly disadvantaged where such threats lurk?

It brought to my attention that I need a sharpened long handled shovel so a separation of it's head can occur. I just walked into the office door at home and the next thing the dog had it bailed up against the door I just walked through. Summer in Australia is great fun, anyone want to visit.
