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,

There was a dog here a few weeks ago was bitten on both legs by an adder - It survived, they got it to the vet asap.

I stepped on one once, when out walking, luckily was wearing walking boots and gaiters.

When we had the spate of dry warm weather a few weeks ago, the adders were out in force, there were lots of photos Facebook.

I thought i'd nearly trodden on a snake once while going down some old steps in Bristol. Turns out it was a slow worm. I'd never seen one before. It had a lucky escape!

Re: Petting an alligator

a neighbour was working on a house nice weather had there break outside,on the last day moved a piece of corrugated iron,to find a nest of adders,I was told they are more afraid of us,not to sure about that
