Apart from them being located about 35 km apart they were reportedly of different lengths. There's more than one snake in the Province. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the source of your interesting soi dogs observation? Why would you conclude that King cobras would be the reason for any decline in numbers?

I note you post a lot about motorcycles on the forum, guess how you are most likely to come to grief here. A hint - it wont be from a shark. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the shows that use snakes in their acts cannot afford to keep snakes any more so they set them free rather than kill them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusts Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 @Old Croc Yep, I have a bit of a phobia with those, but the very reason I still go and swim in the sea a lot and wonder in the woods occasionally is the actual statistics I use to convince myself...!!! Far more chance of going under a truck with my bike than come across these nasty creatures... ! ???? Although that doesn't stop me wishing them all very much extinct... haha... ????, there are much more harmless cute creatures we can protect... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
