Our population is approx 1/15th that of the USA and 1/3rd that of the UK.
But we have more deadly snakes than either of those. :D

An accidental inmate of the zoo or deliberately added?
I was reading about the estimated number of Burmese Pythons in the Everglades and the numbers are breathtakingly bad at over 300,000. Can this all be blamed on people having exotic pets they've released? I recently read that Nile crocodiles had been caught in the Everglades. I'm amazed that people can be so stupid to release something like that into the wild.

My wife once had that asked of her by a door-to-door God Botherer as he pointed to our big soppy labrador.
She replied, "Only on command!"
The God Botherer left without giving his spiel. :lol:

Just as long that I didn't come across as passive aggressive. :)

Non-venomous. Poisonous means deadly to eat. Many people eat snakes. :)

I don't know if I've previously posted this pic of a red bellied black snake in a friend's garden.

The story goes that monitors, if frightened, will climb the nearest tree. If there are no trees, they climb the nearest tall object which could be a person. Those claws are long and sharp!
That monitor laying near the bloke was at the base of a tree.
On the same camping trip a week ago, I was walking back to my tent being very mindful of the fact that other campers had seen a few snakes, when just as I passed a tree, I heard a terrific crash. I whipped around and there was a ruddy great monitor there looking up at me.
At least it wasn't a drop bear! Drop Bear - Australian Museum
BTW, even though the lizards are monitors, Australians call them all "goannas". According to Wikipedia, It's thought the name is either a corruption of the word "iguana" or the South African name for a monitor.

I was walking along a bush track when I came across this lace monitor walking in the same direction. I followed him for about 100 metres before he headed off into the bush. It was about 6 ft (1.8m) long.

Flat out like a lizard drinking (Australian saying).. Yes, the lace monitor was alive. He didn't seem to care about us.
