While relaxing on this holiday morning, I heard activity at the back door as Koofie tried to bring a friend home to play. A bit of Internet rummaging revealed his new metre-long chum to be a Paradise Tree Snake.
A few gentle prods with a broom were required for Koofie to release his new friend, who wriggled into a corner, feigning death. Koof still wanted to play, but could only watch through the window while we called pest control.
Although Koofie was recently involved in a close encounter with a cobra, his recent fear of the flex on the iron and (Mrs M's) epilator, belts or handbag straps suggests this is probably not his first direct contact with legless reptiles.
