She returned to her car and dialled tripple 0. She also bound the wound herself using a bandage which was replaced with a better one when the ambulance got to her vehicle.

That sounds a lot more sensible than, “She returned home and rang…”.

If you’ve been bitten by a brown snake, you need to immobilise the limb immediately. Physical activity is the difference between death and life.

She returned to her car and dialled tripple 0. She also bound the wound herself using a bandage which was replaced with a better one when the ambulance got to her vehicle.

I don’t care for rats and mice – they have their place in laboratories though.

People who keep reptiles can feed their “pets” rats and mice which can be purchased at pet food shops.

I don’t have a domestic problem with vermin because I keep my yard tidy so I don’t get visits from snakes either.

Why they are “protected” baffles me. They are just as dangerous as back-yard swimming pools.

The authorities should cull snakes, not kangaroos.
