I was wading through the lagoon and, as my foot came down, the stonefish scooted out from right under it.

These days I live in New Zealand, over 2,000 kilometres south-east of Australia, but my fears act as an insurance to keep me dry, alive and pain free, as the seawater here is undergoing a heat wave, which means its not if, ... but when, ... the stone fish, sharks and salt water crocodiles make this coast a living death trap too.WilliamRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353376414079333348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-82457289360251406832021-04-05T10:15:59.369-05:002021-04-05T10:15:59.369-05:00Yeah I have had snakes and been bitten several tim...Yeah I have had snakes and been bitten several times, mostly for me doing dumb things. Not venomous but the bite part should feel about the same. It does not hurt much, less then a bee sting to be sure, but it is very startling because it is so fast. One moment,fine and then, bang, there is a snake attached to you. Much faster then you can react.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922579234456384101noreply@blogger.com
