Tough love
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.

What is our fascination with snakes?

I usually try and pretend they don’t exist! 😀

Looks dangerous… I am not sure if I would be brave enough to come close and take a photo of it…

I’m glad there was a glass wall between us! 😀

Haha, I didn’t notice the glass wall at all! I was like “Omg she’s crazy” 😀

Damn! I should have maintained the illusion 😉

Your snakes look MUCH more dangerous than ours! I would be scared of outdoor snakes in your neck of the woods. Congrats to you & Huz for that survival rate. tee hee….

Heheh, not sure if it’s a local snake Kathy, it might very well have been brought in from some place else! There was a sign which told us all about it of course, but I forgot 😐
And thank you! 😉 Let’s see how much longer we last…..
By the way, welcome to my photo blog! 😀

See how the snake is making a heart shape to lure you in ? Wierd.

The first person to notice the heart shape! *claps* 😀
