I love where I live, I love that animals are everywhere here. There are cute rainforest wallabie's that bound through the forest with ease and a kind of poise that you can only understand unless having seen them.
There are in the afternoon hundreds of dragon fly's, they dance in the air, eating on the wing, miriad of colours. Little helicopters of the sky.
There are over 120 bird species that can be seen just off my balcony, yes I'm an avid bird watcher purely because I have this "thing" about ticking off what I've seen in books. ((grin))
So many animals, and well then we have the one that visited me last Thursday night, at about 10:30pm. It was certainly a surprise.... a real surprise, heart beat raising surprise!
A seven ((yep thats 7 feet)) foot long carpet python (constrictor, not poisonous) in my BEDROOM!
I was literally walking to the sliding door, naked as the day, and I noticed a belt ((laughing)) on the floor, so I LEAN DOWN to pick the belt up and notice that my hand is not more than TWO FUCKING INCHES AWAY FROM A SNAKE, a dirty big snake. LOL
Of course I'm a girl and jumped immediately onto the bed, gasping and panting out very lowly ""baaaabe baabe... cumerrrrrreee BABE""
Hubby stood in the bedroom looking at me crouched like a cat on the bed, naked ((he liked this part)) asking ""dahh what?""
So anyway, I got over my freak out and got off the bed, walked to the door and said "seee, snake.... big snake" Stupid us forgot to take a photo, should have but darn she was huge!!
I ran out of the bedroom to get a golfing iron #7 for hubby and a #4 for me.... we lifted very gently Ms Snake, she stired and tried to make a dash for the lounge room and I blocked her dash with my iron and she saw the screen door open and slid out pleasant as you will, no ta ta's love see ya later, she just left"
How rude!
Anyway, on Saturday last hubby went to a friends party and I as cooking dinner, we ran out of salt and I remembered that I left some in the studio for sis and her boys. So Axle and I walked over to the studio to get the salt....
We arrived to find that she was full length stretched out at the front door, her head to the side, she hissed and looked at me and Axle, gave a cursory kind of flick of her head as if to say "not tonight, I'm not moving"
Eeek! Axle and I, torch in hand high scooted it back to the house.... damn... no salt in dinner... damn snake.
Really if I see her again I will get a photo as she was a lovely creature, very slow moving, still cold is my guess and not quite warmed up enough for a full on head long attack LOL
So I think that covers it, I've seen most of the inhabitants of this place now, the snake was the last.... perhaps I should go hunting for a Cassowary???????
