Description

I have seen read bellies snake in Sydney about 5 times, couple times in dog park, near the beach, and couple time on bush bushwalk, near my home.
Over 10 years ago when I had my cat I hear a huge commotion next to my front door step, when I finely got out there it was quite again, my cat killed one of these snakes, only a young one, not even a metre long. At the time I was glad that she did it, bec my kids were only young and they and their friends were running in out of the house quite often as we lived in dead end street next to a bush. Now I wish I could safe him. But there was nothing I could have done, cats can be very deadly.
So if you own a cat, make sure you never let her out at night, there is too much wild life which can be killed at is killed by wild cats which we need to eradicate from our bush !!!
THis picture was taken and Taronga Zoo, as every time I seen him in the wildI didn't have a camer with me ! And plus I think I be bit nervous getting closer for a picture bec they venomous and I have lot of allergies. They are beautiful shy snake who doesn't attack often, but keeping distance is still important, it could kill a child or a pet quite easily.
