Heyne's Garden Centre - Snakes |
 | | Brown Snakes are able to hide in the most unlikely places including under wood, tin, old lino, concrete slabs, plastic, and roof tiles on the ground; within piles of bricks, pipes, fire wood and stones; inside sheds, shops and houses; in the cavities of walls; in aviaries; and even in swimming pools (personal observation). |
 | | Snakes are not cold and slimy, they are smooth and silky to feel and they receive their heat from the elements. |
 | | The average fang size of a Brown Snake is 2.8mm, while that of a Copperhead is 3.3mm, Tiger Snake 3.5mm, Red-bellied Black Snake 4.0mm, Death Adder 6.2mm and Mulga Snake 6.5mm. |
