Tried it many years ago but it didn’t go very well at all

Just be careful checking your tyres fellow Roos especially if you live in a bush habitat

Friendly little tacker
I went to a dam on our place last week to put some yabby nets in
This dam is fenced off from the stock & I have planted native trees around it & the grass is long so I had trampled down a track to the water
When I went back later to check the nets there was a fat tiger snake sunning itself on my track
It kindly slithered off so I could get past to collect the yabbies

Yes this was luckily just a grumpy blue tongue but one of us almost stood on a brown snake last week .

i just slashed a heap of agapanthas in the road reserve to reduce the appeal to tigers after seeing one there last season and losing a calf to one.

Just be careful koshari when we slash areas they move to new areas we get them trying to find new homes after this. They do love the agapanthus

Yeah tigers can get a bit stroppy to
We also have copper heads down the paddock but I have always found them pretty placid
We have Guinea fowls around the house and they tend to keep the snakes away
