Description

Nui Dat, South Vietnam. July 1971. Not a hobby for everyone according to Sergeant Terry Jobson of Townsville, Qld (left), as these snakes started making a run for it from the expert hands of Private (Pte) Bob Bredl of Renmark, SA. When not on duty as a cook with the 12th Field Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery (RAA), the snakes have become Pte Bredl's chief interest at the 1st Australian Task Force Base (1ATF) at Nui Dat. He caught his present collection of six around the base.
