Yeah we don't have any snakes here in NZ thank God. In fact we really don't have any killer wildlife, even the most poisonous spider, the native Katipo only makes you a bit sick.View attachment 1585066
I lived in Australia for 3 years back in the '80's and saw some terrifying wildlife, huge spiders as big as your hand, or bigger like this one, eeeek!

That is some weird sh*t right there!
I love New Zealand, ya just gotta watch out for the tourists in rental cars and camper vans lol.
Is that rainbow lizard thing real?
You very brave Toad! I’m more like sixpack: get the 12 gauge! Especially if it’s life-threatening.Been bitten on the back on two separate occasions by white tail spiders , that have flesh eating venom , but I must be one of those that heal okay . Used to catch huge spiders for my dragon lizards when I was a young fella bare handed . Been bitten quite a few times by non venomous snakes , and have had heaps of run ins with venomous snakes in my lifetime . I don't kill any animals unless by accident or I guess mine or someones life at risk , I try to just live and let live .
Yup . . . unfortunately.Is that rainbow lizard thing real?
It looks like part parrot and part lizard.Yup . . . unfortunately.

In Va, copperheads and rattlesnakes are endangered species, and it's illegal to kill them.
Lmao, **** right they're endangered, as soon as I see them.
I tend not to kill anything other than mosquitos, but poisonus snakes don't survive.
We have 2 great cats that kill everything, snakes, mice, squirrels, rabbits, you name it.
Last copperhead I saw was last summer, and under some brush I was moving.
Hmmmm, leave him alone, and give him a chance to bite my little girl and her friends, or kill the bastid? Yeah, tough call, off with his head, and F the game warden.
Those guys screw more people than you can imagine every year.
Endangered, lol, with good reason.
The most deadliest predator on the planet is the house cat.....
They kill more species of animal than any creature on the face of the earth!!!
They kill mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects, etc
We had a cat once as our Barracks mascot. We called him the Lucifer! He was all black and was a straight ninja ghost faced killer!!! You would see dead mouse, squirrel and mole carcasses strewn about all the time. Usually he would only chew their faces off and leave the bodies...... He killed just to kill he wasn’t even hungry. I once seen him jump into the air and knock a hummingbird down!!! And he wasn’t a tiny cat bye no means. Super Super Fast Ninja Reflexes.
I say it all the time we are lucky that cats don’t grow to the size of dogs or we’d be extinct
That parrot lizard thing is the stuff nightmares are made of.
