A 'Paper headed snake' is created (or given birth to) when a person defecates (shits) in the bush. the 'paper head' is created when the used toilet paper is dropped on top of the shit. It is said that if you step on a paper headed snake it will latch onto (stick to) your footwear and never let go (hopefully you are wearing footwear when you step on one. This is another mythical Australian creature like the famous drop bear, Yowie, Bunyip, Hoop snake and redbacked funneltiger. I am sure this species is not confined to the Australian bush and can be found worldwide
I was bushwalking just near the campground when I stepped on a paper headed snake, the bastard wouldn't let go of my boot
