Tonights Visitor!!

My girls and I had just sat down to dinner and were watching something on snakes on National Geographic when I asked Paige to change channels because snakes give me the grills. Just then my border collie started barking frantically at the entrance door to our garage. I still laughed thinking it was another big frog and nearly keeled over when was faced with this Night Adder. 80cm longer than it should have been, {when you consider my theory has always been the only good snake is a dead snake.}
I was on the phone to my ex-hubby in a flash to come and rescue us, and so he did although by the time he arrived, the snake had dissappeared. We found it in a corner behind 4 folded tressill tables. It put up one heck of a fight, hissing, spitting, and trying to bite through the welding gloves James had on. At one point I actually thought one of the fangs had penetrated the glove, but he was ok. He removed it, and was going to release it in the gorge, but has decided to take it to creatures and critters in the morning.

I sure hope there's no mate around somewhere!!
