Guess what I nearly stepped on last night? A venomous viper!
I was walking over to my in-laws' house (next door) and met my brother-in-law at their door. Then we both heard this hissing sound...ssssssss, we turned on the light and saw a beautiful large viper snake! I was standing too close to him so that's why he was hissing!
I love all animals (cockroaches excepted - yucky things!), so I thought he was a beautiful thing. My in-laws thought I went mad - they're very anti-snake people
- and wanted to go ahead and kill it (very carefully). Then who comes out from the bushes if not our curious cat Gezer? Now I was scared! Gezer came over to the snake and scared him away into a shed filled with stuff (boxes and junk).
Well, I insisted on calling a professional snake catcher which cost about 120$ but found the snake and captured it. He released it somewhere far away in the fields so at least the snake is safe.
That was all very exciting! Do you have any snake experiences to share? Do you have lethal reptiles where you live?
