Hi Guys

The Snakej has been identified by Snake George as a “ Cat Snake “ , so he states harmless .

Thanks

Leave it where it is, it will keep the Blunt Nose Viper away.

Hi Emgee

Sorry to say , this little snake would not even make a light snack for the Blunt Nose Vipers we have had around the garden .

We used to have a Black Snake around , but seems to have moved on , as not been seen for a while .

Our main concern is our dogs and knowing which are good and bad snakes

Thanks
