Well we have had spiders , snakes , lizards in the house , just rounded it off last night , a scorpion My son was sat on the phone in our bedroom and shouted " mum , dad theres a scorpion on the floor " Yeah we all said walking in to have a look . Yep there he was sat between my sons feet below the bed , only about 3cm long , but its tail was in the air threatning us. Someone said they come up your bathroom drains , do you think there could be a adult in the house god i hope not. Time we looked for a new rental i think

Jo thats uncanny!

We found a inch long scorpion in the bathroom last night. Was kinda cute

Thing is.....the inlaws, nor anyone i have spoken to as yet has seen one before! Bit of a coincidence we both find one on the same night!

hevs

OMG!!!
freak out:scared:
I'd be checking my slippers in the morning if i were you

Bix

What's the punchline here ?
You're husband and wife ?

Bix that was funny
Pete the same as you we know people who have lived here for years and they are still waiting to see a snake, i said " oh just come and live with us we have it all " the one family live on 10 acres in the hills , they havent seen a snake , but he said they do get alot of scorpions in the bathrooms , so i take it ours last night must have ventured out of our bathroom into the bedroom , they are cute , but we still checked the bed etc . ( well i slept in the spare room )

my wife and i went to stay wth her uncle/aunt in Bingra....bumf**k nowhere north of Tamworth in rural NSW.
Anyway , the day we had left there was this big brown snake coming out of there garage! The aunt screams "GARY!!!" and uncle comes running out of house with a shotgun.
Meanwhile the cat has gone el spastico and jumped on her arms. Then it starts scratching her to anything!
(uncle shoots the snake)

Auntie goes to hospital to have her arm stitched.

What did you do with the scorpion Jo? Silly ? but are they poisonous? I know there are different types but are the ones you get here harmful?
Hubby was lying on couch last night when a huge cockroach crawled up to his feet - never seen him move so fast or panic. He was trying to catch it shouting "do they bite?", couldn't answer for laughing!
