EvolvingApe Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Kill them when you see them, and get a Staffordshire Terrier, raise it the right way, and it will take care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carib Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Phil's contact # is: 089 663 5085 I will also pin it in the tradesman section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottleBlonde Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottleBlonde Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKjohn Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..

serpentine Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come you know so much about about Cobra family structures? Do they have grandads and extra marital cobras etc. as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumumba Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We can start snake oil business together. Give some wild cats shelter within your walls, the snakes wont bother you no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
