Of course not ... but there's no way we'd have our baby anywhere dangerous. Having a child is the most incredible experience you will ever have. A child is so precious, you feel like wrapping them in cotton wool but at the same time, you know that you must do your best to help them experience life and nature ... and of course parents need to have a life too.

Parents of toddlers should also be aware that most Oz snakebites are on the feet and ankles. Oz snakes have short, non hollow fangs, with the venom on the outside. Toddlers should always wear shoes, thick socks and jeans ... usually sufficient protection.
