I love snakes, especially the pythons. I can imagine how dangerous some of those you describe can be though. I think if I encountered some of those, then maybe I would be scared!<br />I would have loved to see one of those huge lizards though. Again, we only have the very small ones here - it is too cold for them I guess, and I haven't seen any for many years.<br />I have often wished I lived in a hot country like yours, but of course, that does mean there are some dangerous species who like the heat too!😉<br />I have never seen a scorpion, except in a zoo. I found them fascinating creatures too.😊😊<br />Thank you so much for this amazing post...I really enjoyed reading!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day, my beautiful friend!<br /><br />Much love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309826816742200785.post-37726472661011159262020-02-03T15:43:34.747-08:002020-02-03T15:43:34.747-08:00Oh my goodness … the word scary comes to mind!!!

Being in a colder region, we don't really have that many scary critters to deal with. We have garter snakes but I don't mind those at all.

We don't have scorpions and deadly snakes here...wow, what a post!!!

My only close encounter with a poisonous black snake was in Bali on holiday when one was on my husbands sun bed and all the hotel staff shouted to him to get away and they beat it with sticks, it was very small but we were told it's bite could kill you very quickly. In the uk we are lucky that we don't have these kind of things to worry about, one snake (adder) which most people would not see unless they were walking in woodland and that's about it :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271521876976430367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309826816742200785.post-22658386303070489792020-02-01T21:05:31.225-08:002020-02-01T21:05:31.225-08:00You did very well with snakes and so on.

So it was normal for you.<br />All Tasmanian snakes are venomous an illegal to kill. A man died during the week being bitten by a tiger snake, the first man to do so in many years.

I'm not sure I could have dealt with all the things you mentioned with the same calm as you! We have no poisonous snakes or spiders in Nova Scotia and I am truly grateful for that. There have been occasions, though, when a poisonous spider has been found in grapes or bananas in the grocery stores. I think we are all more frightened of them because we have no experience with them. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309826816742200785.post-68297630547795833292020-02-01T16:44:09.941-08:002020-02-01T16:44:09.941-08:00I am screaming.

I often dreeamed at night of that snake hanging from ceiling beams with a big grin on its face to greet me when I entered the room. I too find animal movements fascinating.
