Default Snake Country !!

Anybody know about snakes. I've seen snakes 5 times of two types so far here in Hondon Valley.

Both types about 3 foot, quite thin - blackish was one and the other type greeny/yellow. Gosh they don't half move quick !!! Accept for the one that had been run-over in the road.

Anybody know more, are they poisonous, do they get bigger ????

A local builder chap nearly had a fit when he spotted a yellow one down a man-hole he was working on.

Yesterday, when walking down steps to out front door I had a metre long snake run over my foot and slither into the undergrowth, silvery grey, and moved very fast. I am not scared of snakes, but that did make me yell!

More that the snake country, I would say a country with some poisonous snakes (here there are more fauna), and neither are many, 4 or 5 species. the great majority is not

If you want a country of snakes, with truly murderous poisons, and that they don't doubt to leave running behind of you (as the Black Mamba) you go to Australia. Not only snakes, but also spiders, jellyfishes, octopus and fish with poisons equally lethal, and marine crocodiles, among others animals

The snakes in Europe are of laugh in comparison with what there are in certain parts of the world
