That’s hot.

I mean the AC unit. . . it has to be pretty warm anyway, they’re cold blooded animals.

I love snakes here, in Texas. They are relatively easy to understand and do an excellent job of keeping varmint populations in check. The venomous snakes here that can kill a person are mostly easily avoided. (Sorry Aussies!) So the repellents I listed are for folks trying to keep the snakes outta chicken coops, goat sheds, and other close quarters.

Although… yeah… too much of a good thing is not a good thing:

And who can forget the nightmare fuel of just a few months ago:

Ah, yes, Australia does love literal names for their reptiles e.g. red-bellied black snake

Point in favour of your contention: the Thorny Devil

On the other hand, the Goanna

Which apparently got its name from what happens when an Australian accent happens to “iguana”

Be careful not to confuse it with the harmless black-backed red snake.

(But coming from a continent where red-winged blackbirds are common, I shouldn’t mock.)
