Kill them when you see them, and get a Staffordshire Terrier, raise it the right way, and it will take care of the rest.

Looks like the ape has not evolved enough yet.

Contact Phil the snake man.

I will also pin it in the tradesman section.

Yes, contact Phil, he does a great job and will relocate them somewhere more suitable where they hopefully won't come into contact with any people or shovels. Of course donations for his great service are hugely appreciated.

I was told by one of the vets that those smelly balls that you put into urinals will deter snakes from entering your property. Buy the bigger ones, then place them about 5m apart along your boundary. If you are worried about other animals digging them up then place under a few stones or even loosely tie in a sock. Not sure if it works myself but the vet keeps them around his property and just replaces them every 3rd month. Its worth a try. Personally i wouldn't put a dog up against a cobra as at some point the dog will lose!

Got 2 Thai dogs (Bangkeau) and a Jack Russel - they are clever enough not to attack the snake but surround it and make a hel_l of a racket - and a spate

Yep, the number i had for Phil appears to not be in use any more as it wasn't available lats night or this morning so thanks for the new number that was PM'd & Posted..

Sorry, i am a HUGE Animal & Snake Lover but when little one is walkign about through our Front Garden where they were found, to just get out of the House, there is no chance of friendly relocation in this particular situation..

They don't hang around , from what I understand.They leave the little ones on their own.

She will possibly be someone else's problem then. Hope they can be found and relocated.

Maybe time to invest in a pet honey badger

What about some sensible advice.

Baby cobras (some) are more venomous than grown ups, as they do not have the ability to control their venom. So therefore you have found an entire family. The parent will only return to eat them.

Contact the snake man.

Are they cobras?

I'm sure the OP (as do we all) will find your info both helpful and constructive.

How come you know so much about about Cobra family structures? Do they have grandads and extra marital cobras etc. as well?

mothballs do work as a deterrent, but they need to be renewed and will dissolve in the rain

I trust this post has put the OP's mind at ease

... do the right thing, get the snake man and till then, be VERY Careful, they are as poisonous as the fully grown ones....

We can start snake oil business together.

Give some wild cats shelter within your walls, the snakes wont bother you no more.

Another very helpful suggestion.

You're not related to Big C perchance?
