The ironic thing, is we have found where the snake got in, and its behind a huge shelving unit my son has, by his bed. Kids had broken a pane of glass, cpl weeks ago, and the ply i had siliconed as a stop gap, had cum unstuck.
So im now the prick, lol.
Its amazing, but so true, Australians are a small community sharing existense with a continent full of flora and fauna , creatures and critters. Its a case of , be shocked, get over it, learn from it, and retell the story for ever and a day in emails and at parties.
Glad you enjoyed !

She yells " THERES A F*****G SNAKE JUST SLITHERED UP THE HALL !! YOU TERWATTT !!!"
silence .... ..... you still there, she whispers...
Yer , I am lol, was it big... WAS !!!!! SHE SCREAMS you mean I S !
Ive locked myself in my office, and its heading towards your office and kids rooms... im phoning the snakeman !!!
Luckily, when webought the house, previous owners gave us details of water tank ppl, plumber, lawn man, and a snakeman !
For 2 hrs I couldnt, call her as I have no credit on my crappy mobile.. i have a brainwave, use my mates fone !! im a geniarse !!
I call her, and snakeman has been, but found nothing. Said it sounds like a green tree snake, and they are pretty harmless, no venom, but can bite, and secrete a wet fart if provoked.
I arrive home from work, and shes still locked in her office.
I have a scout around, and to cut long story short, we find the snake curled up behind sons bookcase in his bedroom. Its a BIGGUN !!
I shout debs to get me some, barbecue tongs !!
She yells back, what ya gonna do with them, !!!
I yell back, cook us a fuc*** barby ya daft cow !!! ( in sarcky angry monotone )
Terwattt she yells back, and scurries in with small bbq tongs ! and some palmolive marigold glovs , hurls them at me and skidaddles !!!
I try in vain to grab the snake, it is a green tree snake, the bugger is to strong for my Bunnings BBQ tongs. I yell to debs, get me a hook and a mop stick...
Keeping a beedy eye on the snake, who im getting to like, i create this blue peter snake catcher thingy.
I test it, its crap.
The snake, is about 1.2 metres long, and at his fattest about babies leg thickness. Bright olive green, and a yellow head, with huge forked tongue.
He clambers up the window, and perches himself atop my sons, curtain pole.
Debs calls the snakeman, who inbetween coming around earlier, and now, has been having a few drinks with his mates.
She goes and picks him up. This is no bullshit, i swear !!!
They arrive back 10 mins later, and I for the 1st time, meet our SNAKEMAN !
Hes about 50-55, weighing 50 kilos wringing wet, covered in tattoos, no teeth, a snake hook, a snake bag and only one arm
YES ONE ARM !!!!
Was like the fella outta robins nest !!!
He clambers on chair, bag in teeth, and grabs the snake, lobs it in the bag, and says THERE YA GO !!!
Well Debs was so pleased, she yelled YIPPEEE , I was gonna shake his hand, but got confused, so didnt, and said thanks...
He left !!

Re: Debs shocked !!!!!
OMG What a day it has been!!!!!!!!!
The friggin snake scared the crap out of me - and the man with one arm was just as scary - i had to go get him as he had no car - imagine my face when i saw him walking towards the car with his snake bag/snake hook thing and one arm!!!!!!!!
Looking back on it now it sure will be a story to tell at parties - the man with one arm is definately more scarier than the snake now!!!!!!!!
He looked like a real slob, moustache, scruffy clothes and aussie hat in fact he looked just like joe mangle on a bad day with a moustache.
When i called steve at work he thought i was joking!!! It happened that fast - i was sitting at my lappy looked left saw it slither past the door and up the hall - slammed the door shut and stuffed a blanket under the door!! Luckily had my lappy and a phone so after i called steve i looked up some snake catchers - they were all busy!!!!!!!!!! Eventually found one - he came - no sign of the snake - and you know the rest - what a friggin day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debs :scared:

Used to love the one armed fella from Robins Nest, he got all the best one liners.
