thanks, I’m letting it all wash over me...reminds me of a little episode from yesterday; a king brown snake, the very worst, most venemous snake in Australia, slithered into the house, crawled into the back of a recliner chair and we could do nothing to get it to come out. I telephoned the wild life service, they offer snake removal, he came within an hour...and spent TWO HOURS in the room, patiently waiting for the creature to come out...gently tapping the side of the chair.
Finally, slowly, the snake appeared; he used his special snake-catching stick, picked it up and placed it in a bag, to release into the wild...
The moral of the story? Don’t provoke, the snake can’t help it, it’s just being a snake...(smile)
Beware if it’s a female snake and it has “kittens”!!!
Your little story makes me want to fall on my knees in thankfulness that I don’t live where there are king brown snakes.
Why on EARTH did the man not kill the viper?????
Are they scarce in AU??? Would the world be harmed if there was one less viciously poison serpent in the world?
ACK!!!
