Oh Boofy your tale reminds me of when i was young and stupid. We had just killed a red bellied black snake with a .22 rifle, my dad went to get the shovel to move it but hey what did stupid me do, walked over and grabbed it by the tail....holy crap its still alive and curling up to bite me.

Even now after killing heaps of snakes i remember that thing and first thing i do is cut the heads off then pick them up

Give me a Tiapan any day..least with them you know you have been bitten, 14 strikes in 1 go.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
