Re: snakes taking eggs from poultry sheds

["Tracey Newcombe" <>]

Hi Mike and birders,
We have had that experience with our resident red-bellied black snake
pinching the odd egg from our chook-dome. We just consider it lucky it
hasn't bitten the chooks! We also caught a blue-tongue lizard which had
eaten too many eggs to get back out through the wire of the dome. From the
size of it, and from the average number of eggs we get daily, we think it
ate about five eggs. It tried to get back out but got stuck, so we had to
rescue it and put it elsewhere on the property.
Cheers,
