Merrin’s Wiggly Stick

This afternoon as I came out of the front door after lunch to go work on the tractor I saw the largest red-bellied black snake I think I had ever seen just sliding under the fridge on the verandah then it simply disappeared. I poked around under the fridge, even moved the fridge; yet there was no sign of it.

I thought ‘No way such a large snake could be in the rat bait station next to the fridge’ but when I lifted the lid there it was. I suspect it had been there before.

I managed to trap it there by placing two pieces of flat wood over the entrances to the bait station. My daughter Merrin continues the story

The tractor work can  resume tomorrow.
