Any Herpetoligists Out There







As you can see from the photos above, we had a new visitor. Frances was lucky enough to have the snake land on her head one morning whilst going to the toilet. As the scream rattled through the house, I lept into action and grabbed my camera(well she did'nt get bitten). The snake seemed to be after the small house geckos. After we chased it around for a bit it disappeared. We asked around the village, but everyone had a different opinion on the snake, so if anyone knows the species, or somebody who may know get in touch. The last photo is of a small monitor lizard, about 18 inchs long, that lives in the roof. We only noticed itafter looking for more snakes.

  1. Spider Dave to the rescue, It's a Bronzeback Tree snake, not any danger.
