It's a fact that, with these beasties, the larger their main claws, the less dangerous their venom. If they have small claws,they possess a more toxic venom to compensate for having smaller claws. Loz and I have been very lucky so far, as after 4 and a bit years, we have never seen one.
A few lovely, multi coloured lizards though, much to loz;s disgust. (She suffers from Ophidiophobia). Anyone who was at Aura gardens opening night would know that!!
As some one else posted, just make a noise if walking through grassy areas, and don't let your kiddys turn over any stones!!
Live long and prosper.
