ssssssssssssssssssssss

Yep, the lady actually had to keep the torch aimed while security guard fetched help! The photos were of the snake dead but it was quite impressive. Probably about 6 ft long. I keep asking if she will share here photos so I can blog about it! They were awesome, I will keep you posted. Our neighbors actually had a baby cobra in the drive the other night. My son was headed over and I got the call that one had been sighted but couldn't be found. If there are any snake lovers out there please don't take offense with me, if we find one I will gladly send it over

It is a great shame to kill the snake; there is no reason to.

For those who do have them near their houses, I once heard that one of the most dangerous things is to go into the bathroom without turning on the light and looking around first.

Wow!
this is not scary enough, i've watched discovery channel, some parts of india where the villagers live, there has been a rise of tigers attacking and eating villagers..and those poor villagers have no choice that is their home, one of the children was attacked by the tiger at night without any noise, her parents were not aware she was gone until after sometime. The tigers lived in the jungle and they swim across the rivers to hunt for human as food...saw it few months back on cable..at that time i thought it was so scary, now there is another fear of cobra..i'm afraid of snakes..

Yep.

And the crocodiles eat most of the tigers.

The ones that are left are real mad about that though!

We had a 3 foot Krait the other night. Killed it. But you all know already that I'm a snake bounty hunter.
