In my limited experience, streetlights encourage snakes. streetlights bring insects, insects bring birds, birds bring snakes. The snakes are not always under the light but in the trees around the area.

But even with streetlights, you are absolutely right, always bring a torch. Ive seen a snake get stepped on, but fortunately have never done it myself.




> birds bring snakes

Where do you live that snakes hunt birds at night? Or what about birds attracts snakes???


Birds nest near food sources. Snakes live near birds. The whole ecosystem takes a while to build, its not immediate.

Thank you for the laugh though, I visualised the whole sequence taking place one after another and it was hillarious.


Tasty tasty night parrot.
