Snakes

Tara Lukey and I were trawling the garden for interesting leaves to string up when mummy stepped on a Snake ! It was about 30cm long and had yellow stripes down it's body. It Wriggled under my foot as I landed on it so I instinctively lifted my foot and it was off in a panic wriggling in alarmed contortions as a worm does as it it picked up in the garden. It wriggled over  the children's  feet. They kept dead still. And then it was gone. 

I think it was a copper headed rat snake. Not poisonous. But a great reminder to be cautious. :-)
