[Then] straight to hospital, no mucking around.“You gotta take snake bit serious and, and quickly, quick, quick.”He advised Australians to take some key steps to deter snakes.“You just got to keep your yards tidy, lawns mowed, rubbish piles at bay.“Timber stacks coming out of winter for people with fireplaces, they’re great places for snakes to camp up. You wanna keep that to a minimum.“Then you want, you want snake bite bandages at the back door, in mum’s bag in the car, wherever you possibly can just in case someone gets bitten.”At one point, the snake got very close to the handler’s foot.
