Alive!

This little critter slithered across my path on my way to the camera room this morning, then camourflaged himself in a nearby bush.

Never mind the fact that it's not of the poisonous variety, I nearly died from fright. Just another one of daily hazards to be faced in this island paradise...

Snake...

... in the grass. Safety and Secuity officer George ("of the Jungle") was a part of the SA crew last year before being snatched by the Swedes - and this is exactly the kind of thing he'd expect to see in the bush back in South Africa, not slithering around the Tribal Council area just metres from habitation (which is where he did, in fact, find it).

This adder dispatched (relocated, not terminated), a two-and-a-half meter boa constrictor was next on the list... I was thinking about getting him in to remove a foot long lizard that has taken up residence under my cupboard, then figured it'd be good for the bugs. Even if it does make weird, electronic-type sounds throughout the night.
