The exception to moving away is the death adder, he'll stay put.

At least our venomous crawlers generally give an audible warning with their rattles. Sometimes we call 'em buzz worms here.

Me? I've been known to jump 2' to 3' when a cicada cranks up his mating call right next to me. There's probably a reason they evolved to sound something like a rattler.

I think they are a good thing to have here. They help keep the wild in the wild west, just a little bit. Some wildness to keep looking for.

I'm with you mate. In fact it disturbs me that I seem to see less of them. There is a beachside settlement here that is on a sort of island (its only an island at high tide, and then only if you don't count the causeway). It was known for death adders when I was a kid.
The bloke I mentioned who had the adder bite that went right through his hand and dripped on the floor was the local snake expert.
He told me that the adders are now extinct on the island due to human settlement and encroachment.
Admittedly most of the snakes I mentioned were never seen in suburbia even back when I was a kid, but now they seem to be getting harder to find even in the bush.

Well the fact most bird & bug populations have been decimated compared to just 50 years ago

everything is connected, we have forgotten now maybe too late...

As a kid we moved around a lot mostly the Middle East but the scariest snake that I've ever seen is when we lived in Vietnam the Malayan krait scarier than the cobras
they're called two-step Viper but mostly you die the Heart attack when you realize you steep near one.

sorry for going so slow with this trailer it doesn't match other trailer so I'm either going to shove it in the back or trade it off for something. Also have an extra hundred eighty feet of 5 x 10 by one inch panels 18 ea 5x10 by1in
Sadly there is less than 10 hours to finish the pod.
add a rub rail along the bottom that way if there's any damage easy to fix remember this trailer can last hundreds of years. I don't know why more people don't do this.
in staled door jam
and brackets for interior shelving in the back
Will be making cot / shelf with netting on inside pod
I know I've gone a bit Wild on the rivets but he'll for $19 a thousand all by hand too lazy to go to the shop and get a air Riveter
