Snake Stories

Yesterday Kate woke me up by whispering that there was a snake in the bathroom. As it was very early, and she had woken us up several nights before with stories of snakes in her bedroom (which turned out to be untrue!) I wasn't very enthusiatic about getting up to check. But when I did I saw that there was a snake sitting by the toliet! Just what you want when your 3 year old has finally decided she can actually go to the toliet by herself!

A couple of weeks ago we another snake in the house. It was first thing in the morning, and Sean was boiling a pan of water to make tea (power cut), Joe was playing on the kitchen floor, when he spotted the snake and went to pick it up. Sean saw it happening, and shouted STOP, whilst dropping the pan of boiling water on the floor! Fortunatly Joe was so shocked at Sean shouting that he moved away.

From what we could see both the snake were house snakes, so aren't poisoness, but have a nasty bite.
