what do you do?


what do you do when you realize that a snake is all coiled in your clothes line while you’re hanging your clothes (take note, i was doing my chore for ten whole minutes before i realized that i have company)? freak out and call a snake removalist (yes, there is such profession in australia with all the snakes, spiders, lizards and other creepy crawlies around).

what do you do when the snake removalist decides that the snake in your backyard is JUST a harmless tree snake and hopes that “it will go away the next day”? learn to cohabit with it and lovingly refer to it as snake-y.

it was an extremely exciting thursday night in the dominguez household.

that’s what we get for deciding to live near the bush.

hi autumn!

thats creepy a story.. but not here in oz. ;))

hope, snake-y will not show up again.

the fallback of living close to the bush indeed! you'll get used to the idea that one day, you'll find snake-y again. hehehe!

have a nice week-end!

Oh my gosh, I would've freaked out. Good to know it was harmless!

Hi Autumn --a month ago there was a humongous lizard crawling along right outside my window, hehe.
Living near the bush does have its surprises!
Am planning on taking a course about snakes and spiders so I know which ones to steer well away from :)

yikes!

i had a similar experience (though not in our backyard) a couple of years ago.

i was in florida for a project. a friend and i decided to go the park and have a stroll. bigla ba namang may dumaan na snake sa harap namin. di ako makatakbo coz i was 6 weeks pregnant then. yung friend ko, iniwan ako! hahaha!
