An Island Off Tassie Has Become Infested W/ ‘Mutant Snakes’ Which Sounds Like A Horror Film

A huge population of mutant tiger snakes has inhabited a small island off the coast of Tasmania to the point where tales of fleeing tourists are routinely regaled like local urban legends. Except the story about the snakes — which are said to be double the size of their mainland counterparts — is very much real. May I humbly and respectfully say: absolutely fucking not, thank you very much. Hummocky (AKA Mount Chappell Island) is an uninhabited island in the Furneaux Group of islands off the northeast coast of Tassie. The only things that call this Indigenous Protected Land home are two (2) rangers and a rumoured metric fuckload of monster tiger snakes who have evolved to be larger than the ones spotted elsewhere. Pakana man Grahame Stonehouse, one of the rangers living on the island, told the ABC 

Simon FearnABC.
