Uninvited visitors



Dear readers,
what you see here is a Green Pit Viper,who decided to join us in the evening.Our little son said to us"there is laying somephing,daddy".What a shock!I emidiatelly recogniced the species.It's a poisenous snake with the potential to kill an addult within a few hours.The poison coctail of a viper destroys the red blood cells and leave the victim dying a painfull and terrible death.
My first reaction was to take these pics then grab a big broom to force her out again.The green pit viper turned into a beast and attacked repeatedly when i cornered her.There was no choice than to kill this poor creature in order to protect my family of a deadly treat.I'm still very sorry about that but anything else was just to risky as i'm not Steve Irwin.
I really like snakes and had many encounters with Thai Cobras,Boa Constrictors Banded Kraits,Malayan Kraits and even onces a mayestetic King Cobra while we drove along a deserted jungle road in Koh Phangan where we lived for a year.But to have such a snake in your home is a very intense experience,i can promise you.:))
