A car passenger got the fright of his life when a tiger snake slithered across his foot somewhere on New South Wales far south coast.
He'll check under the driver's seat next time.
We've lived in our suburb for 33 years. We had a small snake in our compost heap a few years ago, but this year I've seen two when I've been walking along a local "bush track" (concrete path through some scrub). I nearly stood on one in January and I was close to the other one a couple of weeks ago. In both cases I saw the tail slither off into long grass on the side of the track. I didn't get enough time to make a guess as to the species, and I wasn't going to go looking for them.
Prior to that I hadn't seen any on the track the whole time we've been here and I've probably covered it a few hundred times in those years.
They're not easy to see. I'm a bit more wary now, even though the odds are still very low.
