Found a baby brown snake dead on the verandah tonight. Only about 20cm long. Ants crawling all over it. Obviously killed by one of the cats.
For those who don't know, these things are super deadly. Widely regarded as the second most venomous land snake. And the babies are probably more dangerous because they can't regulate their venom output.
Anyway, buried the thing a foot deep in the paddock. Both cats seem OK so hopefully didn't get bitten.
That's snake number 5 or 6 at our place this season. Ah well, they did say it would be a bad snake season. Hopefully that's the last one this year.
