Title: Goanna Go
Post by: scrapsD40 on December 14, 2016, 01:29:10 PM

Heard this on the news this morning here in Mexico and it reminded me of a few close shaves I've had with the fairer reptilian gender. It was either after the yabbies, protecting a young one, or maybe just frisky. Anyone else had a close call with a bird or repltile?

Seen something similar twice.
Once at Freshwater and once  on Fraser Island.

A bloke at work was bitten by an Eastern Brown on Monday. Went to grab a ladder and disturbed it so it had a go! Came back to work today, funny thing is it's the second time he's been bitten by a snake!!
They got a snake catcher in but couldn't find it, now everyone's paranoid about it!
