Snakes

The snakes here aren't any little harmless garter snake that you find slithering in the garden on a summer day. The snakes here can kill you within moment of contact (you are supposed to take a picture of it and show the doctor ASAP so they know what meds to give you).  The snakes here make me walk in the middle of the street, look above in trees and jump over holes because of their abilities to kill.  The snakes here cause me nightmares about them and Wade has to wake me to let you know it is all right.

Last year, we never saw any snakes in person.  We were always aware they were around and made the proper precautions, but there was a calm in never really seeing them.  Since we have been back, this has not been the case.

This is our neighbor's cat.  The battle was being fought right outside the side door.  No worries, the cat was fine, but the snake did get away. 

This "small" python was found on school grounds this week.  Last year one 3x larger was found in a tree on campus.
