Snakes are especially active around the house during the rainy season looking for places to keep dry so I kindly advise doors and screens to be shut at all times and any shoes left outside be checked (inside) before placing foot into the shoe! We just gently relocated a juvenile python that got into our house last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I suppose at some time in the past I would also ask.. "What's the name of a certain species". Now I couldn't care less. I see it as "useless information"(unless I am writing a book). For starters....I never used the information again. I most lightly had forgotten it after a while anyway. It never helped me enjoy or not enjoy the object either way. Yesterday a person asked what the name of a bird was....the day before a person was asking about the name of flowers.....and of course the names of snakes is almost a daily occurance....For what?...there are so many different spaces out there. I try to just enjoy "life" as I come across it....not analyze it. That's just me I know....sorry, no disrespect meant. 1 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly Google gives three times as many search results for species (15million) than type of snake (5m). Wikipedia uses "List of snakes by common name". What a world we live in today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They glide very well, perhaps the best of any snake in the world, and even better than some squirrels and lizards.". It certainly was a flying snake - from the 1st floor down to ground level - when the wife swept it out that hole with her broom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 post # 5, hello, I respect your point of view and your honesty. Personally, I inform myself on the internet, on the many books that I have in my possession, but, well, it does not bother me to titillate my curiosity by doing research following a question. And then, it must be recognized, it is one of the rare subjects where one does not extricate oneself. Go, let nature do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For birds and flowers, it's not a life and death issue, but it can be for snakes. If you can quickly identify the venomous snakes in your area, you can move to safety and call someone to have it taken away. If it's harmless, you can live in harmony with it. A lot of snakes in this country are needlessly killed out of ignorance that all snakes are bad. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimewoodworker Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That looks as if maybe our visitor was the same species, was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 golden and paradise tree snakes look very similar. The last post is definitely a golden, they have a black line across the scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I can even live with the monitor lizards that reside in abundance behind our house...ugly lookin' mothers but harmless, on occasion they emerge and get into our shop house garage or become confused and hurl themselves against walls and doors but with a little coaxing with a broom handle they'll go running back to where they came from... the huge huntman spiders useta scare the shit outta me but when I found that they are harmless now they are welcome as they eat other unwelcome pests...I just keep them outta the bedroom because if I don't I'll find one running across my face when I'm trying to sleep... never have seen no snakes except out the back and the coucals and the other birds that live out there then take care of things... (tutsi apologises to the ants before spraying then with the Chaindrite: 'listen, we all have the right to live together on the planet but when you invade my kitchen or come close to my bedroom you cause a disturbance that is not acceptable...')
