Hoblow Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've never seen a funnel web spider in real life, thank god. Those things scare the shit out of me. I've driven over a brown snake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 have u ever seen a funnel web spider or a brown snake ? Yes both, Brown snakes are very common, generaly you would only see them out of the corner of your eye as they slither away due to vibrations they feel in the ground. They are most commonly found in long grassy areas in bushland, then only in the summer because they are cold blooded animals. A well known way of lowering your chances of being bitten if you have to walk through long grass or other possible brown snake hang outs, is to stomp your feet and clap your hands loudly. I remember once as a kid going for a bushwalk through a rainforest in Newcastle NSW. On the way back from my destination, I litterally started noticing brown snakes every few meters, I dont know what the fuck was going on but it was pretty freaky because they where EVERYWHERE! Funnel web spiders are also common in certain areas of NSW, I have seen lots of thier webs in the past but I havent generaly tried to fuck with them and get them out of the nest. Trapdoor spiders are also pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shitting Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 as frank said Browns are common. I am getting over my snake phobia now but I remember my crazy old grandad making me holding a writhing brown snake by the tail after my mum hacked it with pipe and that scared the fuck out of me.

Internerd Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I used to have brown snakes at my primary school. The "bush area" was out of bounds... During summer they used to sunbake on the tennis courts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Meh, I don't care how many deadly creatures you got, alligators eat motherfuckers in the suburbs here. Here's a quote from yesterday's news... dateline Ft. Lauderdale: Cop says: "We have witnesses and we have physical evidence to support our theory that the young lady was dragged into the water and attacked" I would suggest that perhaps she was attacked and then dragged but I'm sure he knows his job...

Smart Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 more news from yesterday: 75 year old woman defends herself from gator with garden hose. Gittles was watering potted plants in her backyard at the time of the attack. She said she felt what she thought was a snake bite her leg. "I felt something grab on to me and I shook my leg, and I shook it loose," she said. "When I looked down, I saw the alligator, and he was looking at me. "I realized I had a hose in my hand. I gave him one good whack on the nose." Gittles, a resident of Blue Heron Pines mobile home park, then finished her watering before going inside to calmly tell her husband, Tony. She said she wasn't about to quit watering until the job was done because, with watering restrictions, she wouldn't be able to complete the job for days.

Removed Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Where I live, Kangaroo's come out of the bush into the suburbs when it gets colder, because there is less food to eat in the bushland. They hang around in groups on the side of the street like hoodlums, I asked one for a cigerette once but he wasnt impressed! Another time I was walking down the street and there was one in my path, im a big guy so usually they would move out of my way, this one stood staring me down untill I walked around! I got stood over by a Kangaroo on my own block! hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
