A little reminder to those using Tasmania's wilder areas, such as Bellbuoy Beach.

I came across this little whipper-snapper yesterday whilst walking the dog (on lead!). Greenie spotted a similar size relative a few weeks ago. With the onset of warmer weather they seem to be VERY active, so don't go stomping through the undergrowth, and check the sides of the paths when you head down to the beach in places like Bellbuoy.

This one was over 1.5m in length, and a solid, healthy looking specimen, and so would put you in hospital no problem, if you were lucky.

I am considering getting the brush-cutter up to BB to get the rampant undergrowth back from the path a little...

Sorry for the rotation - can't get rid of it.
