Copperhead in a hole.

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Yesterday i got a call from the security at our local steel manufacturing plant.
He told me he had seen a snake coming out of P.M.G access hole near his office.
He took these pics of it leaving the hole and then it turned and came towards him.
He ran inside and took the last pic through the locked glass security door.
When he rang me he told me the snake had chased him into the building and would not let him out.
These are his pics.
Leaving the hole which is actually next the P.M.G access hole.

A bit more...

Still coming..

All the way out now..

Run away..it's attacking..

I hope we are safe here, did you lock the door...ring the snakeman,,hurry..

This little snake was just curious about all the fuss, that was all.
Cheers

AWESOME!!! Probably my favourite elapid from around here. They are always such a shy snake....well the ones i have stumbled across have been anyway.

Yes Rob, generally speaking they are shy and innoffensive,
but occasionally Ive had the pleasure of coming across one that could give an angry eastern brown a run for its money.
Last week i caught one that would have quite happily eaten my face,
very nervous and very fast it was.

What a cutie!

Good thing they had the common descency of calling you out and not clobbering the little thing

What a cute snake I can't believe it followed him around a corner and to the office door. What a savage looking beast with the guy bailed up in his office ... hehe ..

They guy had discovered the entrance to his secret snakey cave, therefore he had to be taken out. Kinda like "i could tell you, but then i would have to kill you"
