It was snakes in H K,thought before we went there I would get a mongoose,but I think 9 floor up too much for a snake,one of are familys living in the camp,found a large one in a store room,Are C O wife told me she was leaving her quarter when the Chinese gardener shouted and came running to ward her,The was a Bamboo snake in the tub of bamboo they had near the door,nor sure if they are a danger to people,little shop or hut near are flats had a huge snake to keep the rats down,never went there,
