We have a large red belly that we've seen around for a few years and we leave it alone. A few weeks ago I went into the hay shed and had a gut feeling to be very careful. The next day our neighbour told me she saw a very big snake leaving the shed and heading down the back. We feel quite protected as since it's been around no browns have been spotted.
I woke up to see a very large gecko on the wall. The largest I've seen. We leave them alone as they eat the insects and spiders.
I try to avoid much on the road such as turtles and lizards but driving the other morning right in front of two school kids was a turtle. I pulled over to grab it off the road but a miner's truck drove straight on top of it in front of us. I looked over at the kids and they were so angry. He'd seen it but then he saw my face. They don't realise they have rego numbers now do they.
