socks 32,253 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I spent 5 months in Kenya and one of the lads found a snake in his sleeping bag and kept it in some wire basket cage thing and he used to get it out and try and hand feed it every so often ... After about a week one of the Masai warriors that were with us seen it and started panicking as it was a female boomslang ... A highly venomous snake ... We didn't know what it was as the briefings we were given showed the boomslang as a green coloured snake ... Nobody told us the female was brown lol ........ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nice him Toby. I had a King snake when I was younger Ross. Had him for 11 years before he got some sort of respiratory infection. Littleun is already talking about carpet pythons but the missus isn't keen. Zoo is already full with 3 dogs, talks of a 4th, 2 ferrets and a corn snake. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
