Snake
« on: October 06, 2010, 02:21:53 PM »
Talk about tempting fate!

I was just walking the dog(s) and, distracted by a mahoosive fire in Limassol (it is ~40 miles away but I can see the flames from here) when I looked down and stopped two feet short of a mahoosive Blunt Nosed viper!  eeek: At least 1m long!  eeek: eeek:

Another step and it could have killed me! Scared. Me. To. Death!  scared2:

Do they walk instead of slither over there then?

I expect the trusty hound would have seen it off anyway

Seeing as the snake was probably able to see up your bucket I'm guessing it was far more scared than you were  whistle:

I had a BNV drop out of a tree at my feet in a village near Larnaka as I was taking my morning walk. Only a small little thing and it slithered away as scared as I was...I chased after it of course... whistle:, but it got away...

This thing was right across the path... I pulled the digs in (in not off  ::)) and picked up a stone to throw at the beast but it realised the day was lost and slithered off...  scared2:
