You all would be proud. Heading into Logan Village last Wednesday night approx 7:30pm, and passed a huge snake coiled on other side of road. Did a Uey, went back and pulled half of road just beforecrest of hil, protectingsnake. Turned on flashing roof light and hazards. Wentto check what sortof snake and injuies. Found a Carpet Snake as thick as my forearm, uninjured trying to strike passing vehicles. Went back to ute, got the ladder rack, and flicked (her) into the grass.
Anyway, I take off go down the road a bit to chuck another uey, and head back to Logan Village, when blow me down, there's a smaller snake on the road. So I pull over again, protecting the snake with the ute. Hop out and check for injuries, by touching him with the rack and he takes off into the grass.
Feeling good, chuck my uey, head to original destination, looking for more snakes, there and back . Good news, still haven't sen any skittled snake in that section so far. Oh yeah, the 2nd one was aamller carpet snake.

Place was almost carpeted with them, Tim. Good work on moving them safely.

A mate made a comment to an unsuspected snake lover on Saturday.
Snake lover got very very toey and referred to huge fines for killing protected wild life etc, he apparently has quite a few living around his house including some nasty ones. Kind of got the impression he would be happier if the rest of us did the same.

The Animal Welfare Act allows anyone to "Humanely euthanise" injured animals where no medical treatment is available. I am a volunteer shooter for DEC in WA and get called out all the time to put down injured roo's etc that have been hit by cars or mongrel's going out "bunny bashing" etc

All the more reason to rlax gun laws, so we can have a 22 in the rack and a box of ammo, for emergencies. But, a sharp axe/meschette/tomahawk does a humane job.

When my girlfriend started driving out to my place a couple of years ago, i told her not to ever swerve to miss an animal. We get heaps of wallabies, no big roos, and a cow on the road is very very rare. Slow down for sure, but never swerve.
Back in primary school, a mates mum swerved to miss a wallaby and rolled down a bank and landed in a dam. They had to get out of the car under water, Bugger that!!
On another note, hit a bunny one night, went back to pick him up. Unfortunately he was dead so we took him back to camp and ate him!

I hit a possum not too long ago, 3:00 am in the middle of nowhere, turned around to check on it, and it had a baby in it's pouch.
The mother was all messed up (Missing a leg), so after standing there for a while, I decided to drop a rather large rock on it.
Seeems kinda mean, but better than it being eaten alive by a a fox or starving slowly over a few days.
