This is the bit nobody believes until they see it. šŸ‘‡

Eastern brown, Australiaā€™s second most venomous snake, slides straight between feet.

No strike. No aggression. Zero interest.

Hereā€™s the truth that ruins a thousand pub stories: brown snakes donā€™t chase you, and they couldnā€™t care less about you. Heā€™s not standing still because heā€™s brave. Heā€™s standing still because thatā€™s exactly what you should do.

Snakeā€™s got somewhere to be. Youā€™re just furniture.

šŸ WEā€™RE ON YOUTUBE!

Iā€™ve finally bitten the bullet and started putting together some longer-form content.

This is a bit of a work in progress, Iā€™m learning as I go, and Iā€™m sure the videos will get better as I get more comfortable with filming, editing and YouTube itself.

The plan is to bring you longer snake-catching videos, behind-the-scenes stuff, adventures, finding snakes in the wild and plenty of things that donā€™t really fit into a Facebook post.

So if you enjoy what I do here, come along for the journey on YouTube.

How many times have I been bitten? šŸ

You might be surprised by the answerā€¦

Iā€™ve caught plenty of venomous snakes over the years, but have I ever actually been bitten?

Watch to find out. šŸ‘€

The comfort zone is expensive.

After chatting to someone today about coming on the podcast, I found myself reflecting on my own journey with public speaking.

A few years ago, I wouldā€™ve avoided a camera or a crowd. Now itā€™s part of what I do.

Growth doesnā€™t come from waiting until youā€™re confident. It comes from doing the thing before you are.

Whatā€™s something youā€™ve done that pushed you outside your comfort zone?

Everyone knows someone whoā€™s been ā€œchasedā€ by a brown snakeā€¦ but whereā€™s the footage?

Iā€™ve heard the stories hundreds of times.

But what there is plenty of footage of is thisā€¦

A brown snake doing everything it can to move away from what it sees as a threat.

This eastern brown was cornered. The moment it had an escape route, it went straight past me, not to chase me, but to get away.

Could people genuinely feel like theyā€™re being chased? Absolutely. But if a snakeā€™s nearest escape happens to be in your direction, itā€™s easy to mistake escape for pursuit.

The most venomous snake in my snake roomā€¦

Itā€™s been one of the most requested videos lately, so today Iā€™m showing you the most venomous snake I keep, the Eastern Brown.

Feared by many but often misunderstood, itā€™s one of Australiaā€™s most medically significant snakes and a species I have enormous respect for every time I work with it.

We get called to snakes in new housing estates all the time. One of the most common comments is, ā€œWe live in an estateā€¦ we shouldnā€™t have snakes here.ā€

The truth is simple: your house was built where the snakeā€™s home used to be. The same goes for countless other native animals. They were here long before we were.

Everyone assumes a snake in the chook house is there for the chickensā€¦

Itā€™s there because the chickens have attracted something else.
