Yeah, I dont mind the pythons keeping the plague of rodents we are currently experiencing at reasonable numbers, but I yesterday encountered a tiger (said to be only 8 times more venomous than an Indian cobra) in one of my cluttered sheds ( I'm in the process of culling,on Gumtree, from that shed, many of my "future projects" items, that I now probably wont ever start). I've relocated many venomous snakes (& pythons that eat poultery or eggs) but these Tiger fellas have a record of bighting experienced snake catchers and housed pet owners. I'm considering a landing net with calico instead of the usual hessian bag as my hessian bags get eaten by mice and I almost lost a "roughscale" in my car last time I used a beekeeping smoker hessian bag(new bags have toxins that can kill bees so mine are quite old ( about 30+ years). We will see; but I'm considering my options as the shed is too cluttered for a catcher to corner & remove the reptile.
