BoneDaddy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Re: Creepy Pics. I don't know as this is "creepy", but it sure would scare the daylights out of me ETA: Apparently, this is in Thailand. For once, Australia isn't the one with the deadly critters turning up everywhere! Is it worse that there's a cobra in the toilet or poop on the floor? (Because if I find a cobra in my toilet you can bet there's poop on my floor.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Because if I find a cobra in my toilet you can bet there's poop on my floor.) It's just a snake, and not even a very large one at that. Grab a stick, get him out, pin his head to the floor, and then cut it off with a pocket knife. Or just shoot it with 12g from 5' away - either works. Seriously though, I've twice pulled rat snakes out of the toilet. No big deal, although the wife has a very different opinion on the matter. I'd be more upset with roaches or mice in the house than a snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more upset with roaches or mice in the house than a snake. It's a cobra, not a constrictor. I'd escort a non-venomous snake peacefully outdoors, giving due consideration to the poor critter's plight at being in my privy. A spitting, venomous snake, one that secretes venom as if it was saliva rather than injecting it through a syringe-like fang, is not one that I would care to touch with even a stick.

Orion Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Creepy Pics. Although I've never had a venomous snake as a pet, I have had numerous non-venomous ones. And I know several people that have or still do keep venomous snakes in their house or office - we wildlife biologists tend to be crazy that way. After a while, you just get used to them and don't think too much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of experience with snakes and handle them quite comfortably, but finding one in the toilet would probably make me jump. Hots are dangerous even to the well trained, so I'd prefer to only handle them with the right equipment... Fair warning, the video behind the spoiler tag might disturb some folks, but it's the creepy pics thread so what the heck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxgKFKgUMDw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Re: Creepy Pics. I've only dealt with rattlers and they're not so bad. Not being trained or anything, I just scooped up the couple I ever had into a bucket using a squeegee with a 6' handle. And only because I needed to get the snakes out of there before all the cats got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of times we found bits of snake in the runs. Only twice that cats needed medical attention. And we never killed the snakes, just took them out into the wilderness that's close by.
