PhotoHunt # 191 - UNDESIRABLE

 









 I don't know who got the first shock, the snake or me....we both crossed our path on a quiet park near my neighborhood. I've been there many times and this is the first time I've come across this little snake.It only stayed for a moment before it slithered quickly into the bushes. My son who was with me said it's just a harmless garden snake but it's definitely an undesirable animal in my book!

That is the most undesirable thing I could think of. I'm actually really afraid of them. Great take.

Well, of course, they do eat mice and other small critters which might be less desirable. I love snakes, myself.

Mine is up but the photos may be rather disturbing. The first I used in an earlier PhotoHunter but the second is one I haven’t dared put up publicly before. Just warning you…

You caught a very good picture of it. To think it's hiding in the grass.

Wow! I can't believe you managed to overcome your shock and take a photo of the snake... who, yes, looks a tad shocked at the encounter! ;D

My friends at NTU, a Buddhist Sri Lankan family, they have a balcony on a downsatirs unit. Guess what pet they have? A green thin grass snake. They say is harmless. They also think cats should be allowed to have one litter before you sterilise them.
