Default A Dry Run With Snakes

Currently at work the work is very slow. We have a few big wigs coming soon so a few of us have had to tidy up outside, whilst doing this we came across some slow worms (you had to be there to see grown blokes wet them selfs). I had to pluck up some courage just to pick them up and after finding out that they are a protected spices move them along to a area that was good for them, also found out that they are not snakes but legless lizards. Does make me wonder how i will cope if i meet any proper snakes in oz ( will probably get Karen to sort them out ) :scared:

What a coincidence, hubby came home with a mummified slow worm he found when knocking out a window today!!!! I thought he was joking and it was a toy but it wasn't, it was a real mummified slow worm. Weird huh?

I tend to be interested in creepy crawlies and am fascinated by them but don't want to get too close up to the poisinous kind!

Hmm... think I may knock gardening on the head then!

Snakes will still get into your apartment through the plumbing pipes and air conditioning ducts.
