If you've been reading my posts so far, you'll recall my small green mate from Wednesday night, and perhaps remember my half-hearted attempt at humour when I noted I'd rather a visit from a tree frog than a brown snake.Well, for a colleague down south in Ti Tree (about 200kms up the track from Alice Springs), the situation wasn't so funny.
On Friday morning, after noticing that her laser printer was only printing the top half of the page, she thought it might be time to replace the toner cartridge. Turns out there was plenty of toner, but the real problem was a metre-long western brown snake who'd decided that the printer would make a nice warm, dry and cosy home.
As you can see, the critter is none-to-happy about being interrupted - and, given these bad boys are among the Top 10 deadliest snakes in the world, I'm not so sure I'd be stopping to take happy snaps.

Oh. My. God. I do not know how someone manages to take a photo of that. I'd be out the door quicker than you could scream 'holy jeebus'. I had to pick my feet up off the ground when I saw it. PS - congrats on getting in with the locals. Must feel good. Hope it makes it all worthwhile!
