Today seems to have been full of various wild and not so wild-life.
Why am I writing about these things? because the bakers are yet to appear for work! oh well looks like they will be having a late night tonight!
This morning was spent mostly in the pantry of our kitchen stalking a snake (a boomslang or tree snake) that was hissing at everyone any time they tried to get out some plates or pots and pans. After about 2 hours a plan was made and my boss built a small catapult/slingshot - I thought it'd never work - which he proceeded to use to fire a pellet at the snakes head, stunning it so we could catch and remove it. Must be some kind of boy scout trick... but hats off to him he got it right eventually.
I know not all my readers like the snake info so I've shrunk the pictures nice and small....look away now!
Managed to at least get some better pics this time as I was holding the camera!
Mango the monkey is still doing ok, I just gave him a bath and a bottle of milk so he's happily fast asleep. I'll check if he's feeling more photogenic later and try and get some more pictures of him.
omg not another snake! next time please make a soup out of it! :)
ReplyDeletecould try that, but not sure how it works with the deadly venom, is it only in the sacs by the fangs or the whole body? not sure if i want to find out!
ReplyDeleteGah. I'd faint.
