Who cares what othwr people say you keep up what you reolove enjoying people don't like it then they shouldn't watch it. You have my support on this great education for young kids 👍👍
As I always say, " Be alert and aware, not alarmed " , it works for me. Thanks Robbie, all good advise from you ! cheers buddy, take care and stay safe. 👍
Thanks Robbie beautiful snakes and until I started watching you n another RU-vid I always thought snakes slept all winter n not come out at all so thank you for clearing that up x
Thanks so much Catherine. They're such cool creatures. Winter is the best time to photograph and film them because they're too slow and dopey to take off. LOL 🤣🤣
AWSOME Robbie, keep up the great work and please make sure to stay safe with these snakes. Love your content and tight lines bro 🎣 or should I say gumboots on 🤷♂️
Expected to see a couple of red bellies today Robbie 🐍 but didn’t bump in to any. I did bump in to a Redfin though, a big one. Smashed my pb by a full 10cm. 45cm three pounder. Pretty stoked, anything over thirty around here is a monster, average is about four inches
Well said Robbie, be aware where you are walking, walk heavy, don’t wear shorts in long grass or around bushes and realise that the snake is more scared of you than the other way round... don’t antagonise them and all will be well... 👍😊
Hiya rob There is something about reptiles that draws my attention.. we have a small private nature reserve very close by that has a population of great crested newts which are heavily protected but amazingly there is also a population of grass snakes which predates the newts ...and surprisingly there both doing well... we have had a frog extinction and there are none left these where the snakes main meal... Thank you rob Hello to Loretta and the girls 😎🏴
Thanks Mike. It's always dad when a species becomes extinct. Nature reserves are great, we have one here and it is full of all kind of animals.. I hope you and your clan are all doing well too mate. 👍👍
Some awesome snakes there mate love how you explain and show that they really are miss understood animals yes they can bite but it’s more unlikely to happen than people think there not out to attack people there last resort is to bite and if that’s the case then you were far to close anyway cheers mate great stuff
I have never been scared of snakes, even when I was a kid. I cannot stand on a chair to change a lightbulb without getting dizzy. There are different sorts of bravery.
I used to live and work on a vineyard in gladysdale and the amount of snakes id see around my back step and sheds had a resident tiger and i stood on a baby red belly with bare feet i jumped three metres high 😆😆
You’ll have to forgive me Rob but I’ve got to bail out mate,every time one moves quick I’m jumping out of my skin. I’ll end up having nightmares if I keep watching🐣🐥🐓❤️🇦🇺
Hi Robbie, Having farmed a property on Lake Mokoan, i can attest to a healthy population of browns, red bellies and olive tree pythons. My scariest experience was having a brown come into the house early one evening. Caught sight of it as it headed towards the couch i was lying on. My small dog was asleep under the couch, my immediate concern was to grab my dog, and my movement alerted the snake and caused me to lose sight of it. Not knowing if it had fled back out the door or was still inside, I decided the wisest course of action was to leave the door open, grab a doona and bed down in the back of me ute. Never left the door ajar again.😂😂😂.
Hahaha that's so funny. 😂😂😂 I would have done the same. Last year I went to use the toilets on top of East Albury Hill. Just as I was about to enter one a brown snake took off from under my foot and went under the door and into the toilet. I went to the car, grabbed my GoPro and selfie stick, opened the door of the toilet, took one step in and then chickened out. Haha I love snakes, but I have my limits. LOL 😂😂😂

Went straight into this and didn't know it was you Robbie until I heard your voice! I am fascinated by our snakes, grew up with them in the Dandenong Ranges since we got to Australia in '56. My favs are the Blacks and the Red Bellies are just the most fascinating to me in every way. Biggest I spotted was at the Cann River estuary when it was still Cape Everard (Point Hicks) Lighthouse. I hope that ALL people will learn that if we leave snakes alone, they'll leave us alone. Great job on this production Robbie.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I love them too. I use to keep pet pythons. They are such fascinating creatures. Very misunderstood and feared unnecessarily. There certainly is a time to fear them, but it's not all the time. 👍
Usually by March where I am all the snakes just disappear. I'm hoping next spring I'll have our Green Tree Snake come back into the garden as it was a really decent sized one about a metre long. Very hard to spot though! I would be working in my shed and just catch the movement of him in the garden shrubs looking for frogs every now and then- nice thing about those, no teeth and no venom. Haven't seen my 'roof python' (coastal carpet python) for a while though so she might have moved on to somewhere else or is sleeping winter away. Bit hard to miss with her size but also because she had a very dark blue-black and very vibrant turquoise colour to her pattern which you don't see very often as most are a dark brown and light tan
That is so awesome. I would love to see a green tree snake one day. We don't get them down here. I would love to have one living in my garden. How awesome!
@@robbiefishing They are super-shy creatures and extremely hard to spot, I've never seen one in the bush so to speak. It was only sort of my familiarity with the garden and the local birds getting spooked out that put me onto something in the trees :)
Thanks mate. WOW That would be so awesome to see. I would need to stand well back because I don't know anything about them. Haha I would love to see one some day.
I'm not petrified of browns, but I am certainly more cautious of them. It's quite healthy to be scared of the second deadliest snake in the world I reckon. 👍👍
I was going to ask if you notice a disposition change when snakes are shedding. I'm around snakes but I don't have enough interaction to determine for myself. Most literature here in the US does indicate that shedding snakes become more cranky than normal. For a number of years we had a very large black snake in our barn. Now that one had a behavioral change but not so much in disposition. This one normally was very docile. If you walked near it under normal conditions it mostly ignored your presence and would even tolerate touching if you were gentle. But if it disappeared for a period of time we would usually find a shed skin around that period then the snake would reappear in it's usual hang outs. When it are there were areas of sunlight that it enjoyed laying to sun itself. Being outdoors often I've encountered various rattlesnakes. Now they appear to have nasty dispositions but I interpret that as the snake telling me I do not want to strike you. I just need you to know I can should you misbehave. At least that's been my take away. Good show with the snakes Robbie.
Thanks mate. That is fascinating. I think that is what attracts me to snakes. They're just so fascinating. Keeping let snakes for years taught me a lot about them. I would love to see a rattlesnake one day.
@@robbiefishing we have quite a few varieties of rattlers here. I think the eastern diamondback is the largest of the species. Many are fascinating in their own way. The sidewinder propels itself in a unique way as the name implies. Tracks left in sand identify the sidewinder from other species. We have other poisioness species too. The water moccasin or cottonmouth has a reputation for being very aggressive and highly venomous. I don't see them as they are predominantly found in the southern states. Copperheads are smaller but venomous. Old timers say if you are in copperhead territory and smell cucumbers there is a copperhead nearby. I don't know how or why they would produce that smell but people exposed to them routinely claim to smell cucumbers prior to seeing the snakes. In the right climate copperheads are attracted to woodpiles so anyone burning wood for cooking or heating might not see them but could smell them.
@@papeep2694 That's awesome. We have a snake here called a blind snake. They absolutely stink, but it's only when they are defensive. They let off a pungent smell. I recently looked up the list of the most dangerous snakes in the world and from memory these Red Bellied Black Snakes were right next to the Timber Rattlesnake.
