Snakes Alive

Well if it isn't bad enough having to stand around hosing at night stepping on toads and being eaten by mozzies I now have to contend with a 2 metre carpet snake that is in my garden. I know that they are harmless to humans if you leave them alone but they are a bit scary. John took some photos of it but they did not come out so well, so I have posted a photo from a web site. They are really beautifully marked. This picture does not show it, but the light areas were yellow on the one in my garden.

The good thing is that we will not have any rats or mice while it is around. I just hope he doesn't start looking at the cat as a meal.
