The irony, hehe.Wow ... Here's one for the Irony thread ...
An Irishman wishing for a giant snake to swallow two fellow Irishmen, and expressing this on 17 March - the day Irish folks and fans around the world celebrate the patron saint famous for eliminating all the snakes in Éire.

A five-metre exotic snake found on the Gold Coast is likely to have been imported illegally to Australia, according to a snake catcher.
Tony Harrison was on Monday called to a house in Oxenford, where the 80-kilogram albino Burmese python had slithered onto a woman's doorstep.
"This poor little old lady answered the front door of her house and there's this snake sitting on her doorstep," he said.
"There is a black market here in Australia; lots of people breed and sell stuff that's not supposed to be here."I'd say that somebody's just had it for a pet for years and it's just pushed its way out of its enclosure."
Beautiful creature. Can't possibly be allowed in the wild - but I wish that it didn't have to be killed.
A big one caught in Queensland...
I've just noticed - does the vehicle at the left have a scale pattern?
Good eye ...
My guess is that it's the "business" vehicle for the snake handler (Tony Harrisoin; Gold Coast Snake Catcher). I can't find any images of the vehicle on his business website:

Wow! That had me on the edge of my seat. I don't know why he's doing it, or whether I like that he's doing it, but the nerve he shows is impressive.Yikes, you couldn't pay me enough to do this...
One big king cobra that's for sure. I happen to like snakes but I'd leave this king cobra alone.Yikes, you couldn't pay me enough to do this...
Yikes, you couldn't pay me enough to do this...
Oh dear, it's really disappointing that a body like National Geographic uses the term "poisonous" rather than "venomous". What hope of educating anyone, if they can't get the basics right?One big king cobra that's for sure. I happen to like snakes but I'd leave this king cobra alone.

To most either word gets the point across, w/o hangups on details. I.e.: If it was stated that a poisonous snake, scorpion or whatever was ready to strike I wouldn't care which word was used. But hey I was an engineer not a linguist.Oh dear, it's really disappointing that a body like National Geographic uses the term "poisonous" rather than "venomous".

The numbers are in for Florida’s python elimination program and they are ridicules. The state hired hunters to go into swamps and remove the unwanted snakes. After they tallied up all the inches and pounds the final numbers were astounding.
According to News Channel 4 out of Jacksonville, hunters killed over two miles worth of snakes with a weight approximately 10.4 tons. In total, 1,711 snakes have been captured during the program which is attempting to get rid of Burmese pythons that continue to do severe damage to the Everglades ecosystem.
Hunters were paid $50 a snake and $25 dollar bonus per foot for snakes over 4 feet. So an 8 ft snake would be worth $150 bucks. Also, a snake found guarding a nest with eggs is worth an additional $100.

... However, it is possible to imagine a non-venomous snake that would be poisonous if you ate it. I don't know if such a species exists.
Nice big scorpion, yikes. Although they say the smaller the scorpion the more potent the venom,since it can't rely on large pincers to obtain prey.Mr Biffo, aka Paul Rose gives us part one of his recollections in taking part in the toughest CFZ expedition to date.
More potent venom is usually packed by scorpions with smaller pincers.Nice big scorpion, yikes. Although they say the smaller the scorpion the more potent the venom,since it can't rely on large pincers to obtain prey.
