Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast, A controversy
from Tawoomba over the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I just want to know.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
And we've got our boss in with us too, because
he's a rural kind of fella. Do you too have
snake bias? Before we even start.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I think I'm probably coming into this with snake bias.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yes, I've got a few pretty good reasons to have that.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yes, But like I use someone that just can't stand
snakes anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yes, okay, right, don't we do have some snake bias
in the room. I do like I do like a snake.
You've got a little girl we.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Used to have like a granny flat out the back,
and a guy lived there by the name of Brian,
and he had a snake, a huge carpet snake which
we used to feed twice a week, call Cleopatra. So
I feed clear Patra.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Do you want to know? Yes, live mice and rats.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
That's full on. Okay, I like it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I like a good snake.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I don't mind a carpet snake. And that's not what
we're talking about in this story. This is what I
but at North Point Shopping Center, which is Interwoomba. Somebody,
a passers by, has taken detail into their own hands.
So it says here that Charlie's Shoes and Keys owner Charlie, I.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Don't do it that I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
He witnessed what he saw thought was a massive eastern
brown snake, so a really big brown snake or a
king brown.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Wasn't sure which one, but was convinced it was a
brown snake.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Lurking in the corner near the front entrance. And then
a passers by has come by. I think he was
doing Charlie says, I think he was just doing what
he thought was the right thing to do at the
time for the safety of the other shoppers. A passer
by then killed the snake. We don't know who the
passer by is.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
No, we don't.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
He's remaining anonymous, which is possibly good for his own safety,
because you are not allowed to kill native Australian animals,
even if they are the apex predator of the snake,
and if.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
They're wildly deadly. And I guess I mean they're saying
it was about six foot long. This is a big
s that's a big and deadly snake and is out
the front of the shops where kids are going, old
people are going.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
It is escape school holidays. This happened last Thursday, and
it's on Ruthven. I think North Point Shopping Center is
on Rothven Street or the corner of Rothven and one
other because I used to live in Womb so it's
the main drag of the of the center.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't think I would have killed the snake if
I were that passes by. I think I would have
called a snake person. But obviously this is a he's
a too. I'd say he's a tormber local and he
doesn't knuck around and your sheep, and then has decided
to kill the snake. And I think, personally, I think
that's the right thing to do, do you, Yeah, just
get rid of it. It's what's what's it going to
contribute to society?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Come on, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I mean that's like saying crocodile's like if you just
saw a crocodile, you'd try and kill it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Which, of course, if a crocodile came roaming into caran
Dale Shopping Center.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And I I would love to see that and take
a photo.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
ID, Yes, I'd take it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Down thirteen.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
If you have an opinion, So, Drew, you do live
out there, you live out west, So what would be
your take on this?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, so far in nine years on that property, we've
spent twenty three thousand dollars due to snake bites.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
On sheep and things like that.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
What animals are getting bit dogs? Dogs? Yeah? Dogs.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
They lost two dogs and the current lab who's still
going has been hit three times by brown snakes.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Wow, are aggressive.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Brown snakes are like and particularly if you stand on them,
they're not overly.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Happy, especially this time of the year. Two because they're mating.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
So if they're trying to get from you know where
they are to the female and you're in the way,
it's bad. I'd one come at me on the mower
the other day. I was on the right on Moer,
striking at the mower really while it was going.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, when you when you say come at you, because
that's what they say. They say, I just leave it,
leave it alone. It's scared of you, blah blah, and
it'll run away. No, So you're you're mowing and it's
come toward.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, and then and then sort of rear it up
and try to have a go at me on the moer.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, there was a lawnmod between him and his missing
What did you experience?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, but so honestly, so you would leave that snake lone, Robin,
the one that's sitting out the front of the kids.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'm sitting here thinking genuinely about it.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I think if you could create a like a free
zone around it and call a snake catcher.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Put some of those put some of those landeds up
around it, like you see the nightclub.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Just stay away and the snake would notice stay within
the perimeter, of course.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, but to be able.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
To then say to people, hey, look there's a snake here.
We think it's a brown snake. No one is going
to go near it, like, no one.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
How fast are they though?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Drew like fast when it's warm, They're very quick, lightning speed.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So they're going to ignore that. You do not cross lines, Robin,
and go straight at whoever's going past. What do you
think thirteen one oh sixty fives our number?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh like Rachel of Hope Island, what do you think?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I think in the area likes that you get rid
of it. I had a daughter that was sitten by
a brown snake, she survives, thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yeah, it's dangerous around people, and unfortunately, in that circumstance,
what else do you do by the time you get
a snake catcher and someone could be at risk.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That's right, when we've enough of them.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okang, but tell me about your daughter. How old was
she when she got bitten?
Speaker 6 (05:04):
So she was an early teenager, so about twelve thirteen
years old, and she was just running around the backyard
and she thought she got hit by a stick. Yeah,
but she got kitten by a brown It didn't envenomate
because they said it wasn't really hungry, so it didn't
think she was food.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
So she's a very lucky girl. But it was scary,
really scary.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I can't really argue argue when your teenage daughter's getting bitten.
I mean, that's awful and I'm so glad it didn't invenomate.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
There. Go, there's a new word for today.
