<duck> that, i would have been long gone

I saw a big one behind the house many years ago, 4 cats wrestling me to go investigate.
On TVF you'd have a smart got say they aren't cobras.

Thanks for the memories, I have actually been here and witnessed it.



Annual rattlesnake roundup.

Not quite my cuppa tea, but give the Yanks their due they make some great beer food, those hot dogs were effin brilliant.

Best bit of that trip, buying Levis jeans in WalMart for about $20 a pair, in rip off Uk they were about 40 quid, I bought 15 pairs.

The lottery is very important rg !   


I was sitting in airport in BKK years ago, waiting to catch a flight to China, wife #1 in CR rings me in a giant panic/meltdown.   Says there is a big black cobra   งูจงอาง  about 8 effin' foot long in the backyard and she is hiding in the kitchen, looking at it through the window.  Family dog is going mental and has it bailed up in the corner of the garden, snake is getting p**sed off as well.

I say - "What do you want me to do about it ?  You should have rang Mr Thoong across the street, he is good with snakes and a lot closer to the action than I am".

Snake ended up spraying venom in the dog's eyes, dog doing laps of the house now, yelping.  Wife calls vet, just as a huge storm hits, like a mini cyclone.  Vet says I will be straight over as soon as storm passes.
Turned up, gives dog a needle - She'll be right.   Cobra gone, somehow escaped that madhouse.

Glad I was not there, then ended up in an even bigger madhouse, China.  

I used to catch Cobras and pythons (both Burmese & Reticulating) in the water catchment in the hills of Lantau Island (catch and release further up the hills).
However, never came across a full grown KC but if I did I would go nowhere near it.
Used to have a baby KC when I first started living in Thailand, I had 4 snakes and a pet scorpion at the time but my missus would not allow me to keep a snake now.
