Well the thing is @andy-jahm there are the ones that you definitely should be worried about and stay away from- but the key is just not to disturb them.
That's when they get freaked out because of your interference and then you start freaking out cause they're freaking out and then everyone's freaking out and everyone ends up chasing the poor creatures around the house, breaking vases,furniture and things, putting holes in walls... then the humans spray the spider killing spray in their house, which mot only kills the poor spider, but every other living thing in there too, including slowly poisoning the humans too...so the moral to the story is, leave them where they are and let them do their jobs, whether that be eating the mozzies, flies and other annoying insects ., or snakes eating mice..and then you always know where they are...
Unless ofcourse, those snakes happen to be Red Belly Blacksnakes, (King) Brown Snakes, Whip snakes, Taipan, Copperhead, Death Adder (for us in Australia) or obviously so many others around the world...but then we also have a tree snakes, not down here in Victoria, but up north in QLD and their harmless.
Yes they can bite you, but it's not a toxin that you need to worry about, it's the bacteria that in their mouths and gets transferred to you wound- that's can be just as bad a being bitten from a poisonous snake..
Don't get me wrong, I'm no snake expert, but I grew up in the country surrounded by paddocks and a swamp full of snakes and everything else, that come up into our backyard in summer looking for water...and ofcourse all the dads in the street would freak out and there'd be men and shovels chopping at anything that looked like it could be a snake...
But it is different up in Far North QLD as there are both kinds- the dangerous and ok species of snakes and Spiders.
Rule of thumb over here is that that if the snake naturally goes uphill when disturbed, then it's a tree snake, down hill then it's not and it will probably be dangerous.
Also the smaller the more deadlier over here too.
But like I said, unless you absolutely have to move them, the key is to leave them to do their share of the housework like all good housemates should do.
I hope I haven't bored you too much...But I have had a lot of accidental personal stories with snakes and spiders- never being bitten though thankfully...
And I think that it should be mandatory for everyone in the world to watch a Bug's Life too!
I loved Bugs Life!
So when you do come to Australia, come and stay with me and I'll show you whats what here and I promise not to put anything in your bed! 🤣
And remember to rehome- if you absolutely have, not kill, cause like I said, they can be great flatmates and you actually know where they are then too.
