Snakes still about?

[Anarita John]

Sun was out today and felt warm in direct sunlight, so snakes could be active. When I was out on my bike this morning I was still hearing lots of rustling in grass as I was riding. Temperatures today similar to March when snakes begin to be active again, around 21c.

Snakes still out and about seen a couple of Black whip snakes and a BN Viper recently at the golf course obviously getting the last of the Suns heat before hibernating

I too would think with the sunshine today that it could well be a snake bite. Especially with the Black (dying skin) around the bite.. I sincerely hope that the cat makes a good recovery..
This will act as a warning to me as I walk our dog on concrete tracks but with thick undergrowth at the sides in places..

I am pleased that the cat is going to be OK

They’re a worry aren’t they, guess that’s the downside of their independence.
My adopted deaf girl died after drowning in our pool earlier this year, she had a morbid fascination with water, and that was her downfall.
She had neurological issues too which didn’t help as her balance could be shocking
