Omg snake in garden

[Snakeomg]

Is this a pet or wild snake?

Ignore those that say it is harmless. It is a certa mors anguis

Not only is their venom deadly, they also shoot lasers form their eyes and can make themselves temporarily invisible

What else would you like op to say other than 'snake in garden'?????

@Snakeomg We’ve had invasion of wasps today - seven in total despite all the windows being closed all day. I can’t even bring myself to think how they’re getting in.

I’m aware that a phython is a super scary animal but can we swap please? I’m a wuss about wasps 😩

@IwishIhadaMargarita

If you're scared of slithery things to the point you want a trigger warning why would you click on a thread that clearly says it's about a snake?! 😂

@IwishIhadaMargarita It's literally called 'snake in garden'. How much more explicit could OP have been?

Its a pet, definitely not native. Think its a python. They're usually pretty laid back, just pick it up.

Great thread. Bad luck on the escape op.

And yes no trigger warning needed when a thread talking about a snake is about ........a snake.

Do you by any chance have a 'bell pull' by your bed, or more likely a pull cord light switch in your bathroom?

I recall a Sherlock Holmes story, where a poisonous snake crawled down a cord and killed the person asleep in their bed....

There are pictures I.’did like to know that there will be a fucking snake photo as I said even pictures of them are a trigger for me!

just wow. I'm feeling edgy sitting here on my chair and I'm not in the East of England.

Time to move house OP.

@Wolfiefan

The Gaboon is a gorgeous African viper. They snatch up their prey and suspend them in the air. Their patterning is beautiful. I wouldn't like to be near one myself.

You’re such a brave woman OP- id be bricking up every entrance to my property. Covid lockdown would have nothing on my snake lockdown. Oh and I’d post of a local forum “what prat lost their giant snake”

Ooh, I'm also in EoE! Mine's safely tucked in his viv though

If it appears again and you're in my neck of the woods I'd happily come wrangling!

Bit high risk though clicking on a post about snakes if you're that scared of them

I'm scared of spiders so if there's a thread about them I wouldn't open it because pictures or not, hearing about them makes me shudder!

iwishihada, seriously? If snakes are triggers for you and you click on a blatant snake thread you are prepared to explore the basis of your trigger and process it.

I googled the fecking scary viper. If I have snaky nightmares it’s all your fault.
Am I the only soft bugger worrying about the snake being ok? Is it going to get too cold for the snake overnight.

@IwishIhadaMargarita 😂😂 Are you serious?

@Wolfiefan I’m sad too, a corn snake is not made for our environment. She’s going to get ill if she’s not found soon

I used to be the same as you. I still don't like the pictures, but as a child I couldn't even hear the word without having a panic attack. (I had some exposure therapy so I can deal with the word and the pictures a little bit better now!) I clicked at my own risk.

Jesus I’m nit going to sleep now. Why did I read this thread?! Please tell me OP that you are nowhere near Leeds?

I'm terrified of snakes and hate looking at photos of them but when I saw the title I couldn't stop myself clicking on it even thought I knew there would be photos. Morbid curiosity I guess . Whenever I wake up during the night for the toilet I worry in case one jumps out and bites me .

MrsGrindah Leeds is safe! OP is in the East of England. You can rest easy, unlike us who are there

For those wondering how to tell if it is dangerous, I'd say it being an albino is rather telling. Albinos rarely make it in the wild, because albinism hinders their chance of camouflage so it is vulnerable to predators and easily spotted by prey.

Having said that, I wouldn't recommend handling it. Maybe it is one of the morons who buy from international traffic and lost a Naja kaouthia...

Thank God. I’m still not sticking my feet out of bed tonight though just to be sure!

I’m safely in the Midlands.
Nevertheless I have my legs up on the sofa in case Op’s slithery friend hitchhikes...
