When I was gathering up my husband's dirty clothes, from the floor NEXT to the laundry basket in the bedroom the other day, I found this dreadful slithering thing under them.
I thought at first it was a strange rubber band.
But then realised and ran to get a knife to kill it.
Instead I ended up with BBq tongs and an empty chook bucket.
It is a highly venomous curl snake or Myall snake.
Only a baby, about 15cm long. still deadly.
Many jokes were made about snakes and undies etc etc.
I am still more worried about the mother who gave birth to it alive!
Pussy cat is perhaps a bit too old at 14 and not many teeth to keep on top of the baby snakes these days. Still I would hate to lose him to a snake bite in the mouth.
He sleeps most of the day. Or watches TV!
Hhhhmn, Might have to look for a more lively fresh puddy tat!
Snakes ... I can tolerate them in the paddock, but definitely don't like them in my territory!
ReplyDeleteI can't cope with them anywhere! I'm always terribly worried about them and my little doggies.
DeleteI think a few of my snake erators might have stopped working with water in them.
OMG how frightening!! At least you were able to have a joke after! L xx
ReplyDeleteOkay. I know this is from a long time ago. I know that I'm a long way from you. But allow me to say: "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!"
