"Many people kill snakes for no reason at all, whether they are venomous or not, and no matter where they are found. I am not discussing these people here because I can’t help them; killing animals for fun is often associated with psychopathic behavior and I am not a psychiatrist." —David Steen, herpetologist

PRE-EMERGING!

Notice how nice and sunny and calm it is outside today? No cloud. No wind. No overnight frost.

As the ground warms during the day, if conditions remain warm and dry as they are, reptiles will be emerging very soon as all the elements are perfect for what they need. No doubt in many QPRC places, reptiles are already taking advantage of the basking sun so please,

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SNAKE BANDAGE AND CARRY IT!

Foot covering is not an issue just yet because it isn't quite warm for bare feet and legs but snakes don't care if you are hot and want to shed clothing. If they get spooked or disturbed and feel their only defence is to strike, they will and if they get into the blood supply via the thinner skin of the ankle or foot, it can be a dire situation.

Please be wise. Please be safe.

There is no going back from a bite.
