Tell you what, it has been a fast start this morning. Wow. We humid conditions. Then we got some storm storms coming in a little bit later on. Um, so lots of snakes on the move today so far. But we're just arriving at a retirement village now and there's a snake inside what I think they said an old lady or an old gentleman's uh kitchen area. So, not ideal.

So, but they obviously look like um little brown snakes. So, >> yeah. I was trying to get a good view of him, but he's not playing the game. They're um >> at that size. >> Yeah. So, >> yeah, regardless of their size, you know, venomous snakes, they're pretty much the same potency. So, obviously like the amount of venom delivered is going to be slightly different. >> Yeah. I thought babies more venomous than larger. >> No, like not necessarily more venomous. Like there's people sometimes say stuff like they can't control their venom, so they they um inject venom more frequently. But there's not a huge amount of data to back that up. >> You know, I get it. Like I I get the concept behind it, but at the same time, you just got to treat whether it's, you know, 6 in long or 6' long >> the same. So, yep. >> Perfect. Well, thank you for keeping an eye on it. >> And just be super careful obviously with putting tubs on snakes just in case. I've seen people get bitten. >> Oh, with the tubs >> like trying to do it. >> Oh, >> and like the snake um Thank you. the snake will like as they put the tub down. >> Yeah. >> Like the snake will move kind of like what I was doing how quickly I was moving and then they put it on it and then it flings up and bites someone on the on the finger. Yeah. So, all right. Beautiful bush. Probably heaps of snakes here. Oh, there's going to be one more.
