Anyone else in the area having some slithering visitors as of late?
I noticed last week that all the frogs I had around the pond were gone. Then over the weekend a fairly large recently shed snake skin was found near the pool. Had a frantic call from the wife on Saturday morning about seeing, "That snake you said you saw last year is by the pond!" and got home to her walking around the garden with a pistol(empty
) being all Rambo like.
Last year about the same time I could have sworn I saw a juvenile Rinkhals on the lawn one afternoon, but it was gone before I got outside to catch it. Apparently I was right unless this is another one. Shed skin is about 80cm long, so probably a bit bigger than that now.
My last run in with one of these was when it was wrapped around a fridge motor. The last thing I need is it coming into the house when I'm not there. I really don't need anyone bitten by this, and would be really pissed if it bit one of the dogs.
