A Very Big Hello to you all !!!!!
Phew !!!! What a morning it's been !!! It's taken us about 3 hours to catch and release the biggest African Rock Python we have ever seen !!!
As I passed the couch (outdoor dog couch) this morning, I felt something bump me on my leg and was horrified to see a snake had just striked at me. It was Huge and it was Very-Very upset!!!!
Pythons are constrictors and non-venomous and rarely bite, but when they do, it's treated just as you would any other wound. But don't let it get a grip and start coiling itself around you!! Boy!!! with a python this size!!! you'll not easily get it uncoiled again!!! It will just squeeze the life out of you, slowly, and with every breath you take!!!!!
This is the dog's couch..... and it's not a small couch by any means......
...with it's tail at one side of the couch.....
...and during all of this, there wasn't a dog or cat around, they took themselves away - except for one very curious and weary kitty cat.... Bontie, looking on from a great distance, save from her viewpoint on the roof......
Till later my friends!!!! Have a happy crafty week-end!!!!
Love

Hi Anne-Marie, thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that snake!! It was huge! We might have rubbish weather in the UK but at least our snakes and insects are small. I hope the rest of your day was less eventful!

No I don't think a single one of us started their day like that!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to sound a wimp, but I don't think I would have coped! we're just not used to things like that. I think we must lead very sheltered lives compared to you!! Anyway well caught and set free! Heather x
Hi Heather, I think if you lived here you would be just fine!!! We all adapt to our circumstances!!

ReplyDeleteHi Ann Marie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have a wonderful Easter too. No snakes though. Yikes that a big one. Lol
ReplyDeleteThe most shocking thing I ever woke up to was a slug crawling on my carpet. I can only imagine it came into the house via the laundry basket that had been in the grass that day while the laundry was drying. Now I alway check the baskets very carefully! This snake is amazing and huge! Happy Easter to you and family too :) xo K.
ReplyDeleteI wake up to Spring lambs in the field next door and that is wildlife enough for me. I would love to visit your beautiful country but would want you and your family as protectors . Wonderful that you managed to set it free. Your good deed for the ay indeed.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is working in the US just now and she has just met a chap from South Africa and she thinks he is wonderful so maybe I will visit one day.
