'Certainly life-threatening': 80-year-old Australian survives 30-minute boat ride with tiger snake | Snakes


“I could see this strange object I didn’t recognise. It was about 30cm from my feet, flicking its tongue out,” Thatcher told Guardian Australia.
He said he uttered an expletive or two during his ordeal on Thursday but declined to repeat the phrase he used to describe the snake. “I didn’t like the bugger – that’s all I’ll say,” he said on Monday.
After realising that getting out of the boat wouldn’t help “because it would still have been in there”, Thatcher started to head back to shore. At one point, he threw a jumper at the snake, to stop it slithering across the boat.
