Lucky you  :) That snake is either pregnant or has just eaten by the looks of its bulge.

I see you weren't scared to put it in a bucket. My family would run a mile.

And got someone else to put it in the bucket ;D

Oh Kea, I don't think anyone should be scared of wildlife in this country.  Honest they are more scared of you than you of them, go on take a peep  ;D  ;D

I nearly bought a corn snake but the guy in the shop said you have to be careful when handling them as you can pick up salmonella, which did put me off.  

I think snakes are beautiful  but did panic a bit as I was on my own and was frightened Sunny ( my baby) might have been a meal for the snake.

I think it must have eaten a frog, don't think it was pregnant.

It's more of a phobia than just being scared. i have no problem with lizards.
