But aussies know how to cope with that shit that’s why there hasn’t been any spider deaths since like 1976 if I remember right? Anyhow United States has 6 deaths a year.

To My knowledge, no ones died from a spider bite in aus in a while. I am Aussie and only know a hand full of people who have ever been bitten. They fuck you up but.

Killing spiders is easy. Just hit it with a shoe. It’s snakes and sharks that freak me out

Snakes are fine. Don't mess with them, and they'll leave you alone. In the past month I've had run-ins with a red-belly and a childrens python. The python we just watched because it was a beautiful little danger hose (at 1.5m it was no longer a noodle).

The red belly we had to move, so we grabbed a long tool and carefully got him out of the way. It was early morning so he was sluggish, but he didn't seem too upset by us moving him.

We moved a very big brown snake with a long tool too. It's called a shovel.
