Snake bites woman in Tasmania

[Hickson]

The amazing thing about this story is, despite the detail, they never once mention which species it was.

Update on this story. It was a Tiger Snake.

What amazes me is that they speak of the Woman being attacked, the poor old snake was having a sleep when it was attacked by a restless sleeping human ......

"The first two bites were only a warning and probably had no venom in them.

"It was only after this warning failed to have the desired effect, being left alone, that the snake used its venom."

Are these confirmed dry bites? or this guy just mouthing off, id bite you too if you tried to push me out of bed too i have to say...

Actually for "snake bite" articles thye are well written and lack the hysteria that the media loves to engender.

The response to the bites was exactly as per the text book and the outcome quite positive.

I thought this was going to be about an embarressing snake encounter from the title. Close anyways, they were in bed! lol :lol:

I thought the same Inny. At least there is no expectation to suck the poison out these days.

Yeah I'm impressed with the articles, and the viewpoints of those involved. No anti-snake hysteria, the woman who was bitten seems like she doesn't blame it at all, which is a refreshingly educated viewpoint.

So, it bit her in Tasmania? Should have bit her in the ass
