What A Wake Up Call......

SNAKEHEAD!!! :encouragement:

You are such a thoughtful person to take the time to first, after assessing the emergency situation and seeing the intruder, to then go and find your cellphone before you have had any coffee and second, to actually take the time to take a photograph of the uninvited guest in order to share it with the rest of us... it brings a tear to my eye...I wish everyone was so thoughtful.

Believe it or not Christopher, (and as much I would like to deserve the "thoughtful" compliment) I would have never thought of taking a picture of the beast. My only thought at that time was hoping it wouldn't move and go hide somewhere while I went to the shed to grab the snake "welcome kit", the aforementioned shovel.
But somehow, in her hysterical panic, my wife found the strength and courage to aim her cell phone at the intruder and shoot it, (for her facebook friends of course), before disappearing in the bedroom while I braved the monster in a merciless shovel a mano duel, so since the pic was there....:lemo:

There was somewhat of a resemblance with your snakehead picture actually.... particularly the white binding outlining the chin of the animal.

It makes for a great "visual". I can just imagine...

This woman is an inspiration to women everywhere.

Pascal, thank you! The white on the chin, of course! The design mystery is (finally) solved! ;~}

Yes sir'eee, I'm thinking that would've made things seriously more interesting around yer house, Pascal, had the nasty intruder slithered away somewhere to parts unknown. Instead of being the noble knight in shining armor, yielding you're trusty blade with swift and merciless conquering of the ghastly creature, you may been subjected to a very colorful inquisition from your fair maiden as to why you could be so blankety-blankety-blank... to let the menacing subject out of your sight. Seems lady luck was on your side that eventful morning.layful:

Keep an open eye my friend,
Terry

Ya know Terry, the particularity of these snakes is their speed. Once you get close enough (about 6 feet in this case) and they take off, you better be ready and not under the influence if you catch my drift, cuz they be gone quickly outta your sight. So as I approached the terrifying monster with the spark of "survival at stake" in my eyes, I was thinking "don't let him get away and hide under the stove or fridge or anywhere else" or life would then become much more complicated, and my wife might then have followed the advice of some of her girlfriends expressed on facebook, following her picturesque report, to move out of the house never to return!
Thankfully, my warrior skills and determination didn't afford the enemy a chance at an escape, and I caught him under my shovel at the first plow.

I'm an insomniac. Very rarely do I get a good night sleep, finally fall asleep after all these hours went by trying, I'm not a morning person. I stumble out of the bed, we had an uninvited guest, the wife was having a nervous breakdow, any snake found roaming around my residence is a dead snake.
