Snake

So if these snakes live on the ground and not in the trees, this means that 80 percent of the bites occur on the feet or ankle.

Thus, it is advisable to wear shoes or boots in order to prevent being vulnerable to these bites.

In its aim to reduce snakebites, Charles Campbell Toxinology Centre has been appealing to charities, foundation, shoe manufactures, shipping companies to assist by putting shoes on Papua New Guinean feet.

Remember: 80 percent of venomous snakebites occur below the knee.

Snake catcher Rolly Burrell caught the eastern brown snake at the woman's home in Adelaide, South Australia.

She had stepped outside her southern suburbs home to collect her shoes and saw a brown tail disappear into a boot.

The species is considered one of the world's most venomous land snakes and is found along the coasts and inland areas of mainland Australia.

"She went outside to get her ugg boots and she saw something shoot in there," Mr Burrell told the BBC.

"She realised it was a snake."

After the death of a 12-foot-long African Rock Python, park rangers opened its stomach. Inside they found a 30-pound porcupine.

Its needle-sharp quills seem to have punctured the snake's digestive tract and may have contributed to its death.

The engorged snake was first spotted by a mountain biker in the Lake Eland Game Reserve, about 100 miles south of Durban, two weeks ago.
