Snake Catcher Victoria
Almost Legendary
Snake Catcher,
After some advice, in the area I am in as I may have mentioned before the common brown snake is the predominant snake in these parts, I have been hearing that there has been a number of cattle deaths and inparticular on one property whereby four head in one paddock died, on further inspection by local vet snake/snakes have been the culprit, I also have had one unexplained death of a otherwise healthy heifer.
I have only once seen this happen once before when mustering on horse back cattle in Kenya Africa, the cattle as a mob passed over a large ants nest, the ants then in turn took to a 14 foot black mamba as a result the mamba killed 16 head of cattle in a matter of 5 to 20 minutes.
So is this normal or abnormal behaviour for a brown?
This is from a worried M.O.P.
I cant imagine 1 snake would have enough venom to kill 16 cattle in 20 minutes??
Mamba or not.
This guy dosnt want to kill them but obviously will if he thinks his cattle will be affected.
As with the other M.O.P question I posted about wetlands near schools,
I will link this thread to the guy who asked the question.
So he will be able to read first hand what you write here.
Thanks
