Something was on my left foot.....looked down to see a red-belly black sliding over my foot and thru my legs and head over to our wood pile...
Growing up, we moved onto a farm. While a new house was being built we lived in the existing (rather run down) house.
My brother and shared a bedroom that was originally the veranda ... the walls that were put up to turn it into a room didn't quite go up to the tin roof (no ceiling).
My brother was standing on his bed to get something off the top of the wardrobe when he saw a blue tongue lizard sitting on the top of the wall.
"Great" he thought "chance to get myself a new pet" (you can see where this is going, can't you?) ... slowly reaches out, the "lizard" turns to look at him, sticks out his tongue ... IT'S NOT BLUE, IT'S FORKED!!!
So, yes, we had a red-belly black snake in our bedroom (not for long though).
There was a nest up there, and he'd made his way up there to turn the chicks into lunch.
