RE: The Creatures of Darkness Inside My Mind
Ok, so that's not what I expected. I jumped two feet off the couch when I realised you found a snake. I'm not a big fan of those slithery suckers. You must be tougher than I am...I would likely have gone to get my shotgun, not a stick.
I guess a by-product of living here where snakes aren't friendly.
Hope you washed that snake-spit off that goog. 🤨
P.s. Did you really scream?

Yes, I did scream. Twice. But it wasn't those prolonged blood curdling horror movie type of screams. I kind of wish it was though, because that just might have provoked the imaginations of the neighbors. I am actually not afraid of snakes, I just don't like having them startle me or having to touch them.
My mom came for a visit recently, before I arrived home. She found that same snake chasing a rat in the middle of the afternoon. It slithered up the rafters of my pool bar and did a lightning fast strike across the rafters, hit the rat, and they both fell ten feet to the deck. He then coiled himself around it and did his thing. I have massive respect for that guy.
The snake spit dried fast. I trust it will add a bit of extra flavor if I don't wash the egg ;)
You're brave! Well, except for the two screams...Let's call them exclamations of surprise instead though. Sounds braver.
I'm trying to imagine myself co-existing with a 7 foot eastern brown snake...Can't do it. I think I'll leave the snakish-friendships to the experts...You.
Who doesn't like snake-spit on their eggs though right?

There is something about snakes that is just fascinating and irresistible. I have never seen a venomous one on my property, so that helps matters, but somehow I always see them as a bit like good luck. Maybe less so after dark...but good luck still.
Exclamations of surprise...yes, that's exactly what they were.
I saw a snake that interested me once...Well, to be honest it was draped around Salma Hayek in the movie Dusk til Dawn during a dance sequence so maybe it wasn't about the snake at all...
Poor snake, put in such a grand position, and it hardly got noticed :)
Yeah, I'm sure the snake-actors-union will be all over it! 🤨
