Baiting snakes

[drache]

what a story
I'd also been scared of the outcome
I'm glad you're taking care of the little snake
with some luck she may even keep her tail

great story Terry ... I would have quickly become obsessed with getting that door off as well ...

enjoy your day ...

It sounds like Ladybug will have a nice home in your yard, Terry. Were you able to get the skin off the tail before you released her?

[Cazador]

Nice job, Terry. For what it's worth, old skin comes off a lot easier if it's been wet first. The difference is amazing, but at any rate... you may have saved her tail. Good on yeh, mate

Good one Terry. Let's hope we catch the odd glimpse of Ladybug in the future.

Hi everyone: I had thought things were going to slow to a crawl (pun intended) in the sunroom. No way! I have been having more fun than ever (amazing stuff… at least to me), and have enough for at least a couple of more posts. But first things first. The one that ate the fish (I think) let me pick her up today and I had a chance to examine her. Question: Is she a she, and has she been “plugged”, or is this other stuff?

[adamanteus]

I'll be honest Terry. It doesn't look like a plug to me. If you catch her again you might want to soak her in luke warm water, to see if the bulk of that muck will wash away. It doesn't look quite "right" to me.

James: I put her in a bucket of warm water and let her swim around. Guess it was just poo.

[adamanteus]

It looked like poo to me Terry! But a mucky cloaca (bum) isn't right. You did right to let her take a bath.
