It's a lovely place but the snake part makes me shudder. You were hoping to see something that I fear intensely. I had a nightmare a couple of days ago where there were snakes in my apartment. There are no snakes in the middle of this cold city.
The fruit tree is really interesting. I would love to know what that is.
Thanks for the snakeless tour!
I am sorry to hear that you fear snakes Carolyn.
What we do with people that are scared of snakes is that we get them to confront their fear by touching a harmless mole snake, or a grass snake as they cannot bite.
I know all of our very poisonous snakes here and I leave them alone, except for getting them on my camera. But the harmless ones I can pick up with my hand.
Yes, the tree is called a "Strelitzia Albus" there are 5 species of Strelitzia plants and trees here.
Hahaha, I will remember to warn you when I post a snake.
Have some !PIZZA
It's funny that you say I should confront a snake. I was in the Bangkok snake farm once and had a python around my neck. It was all a controlled thing by professionals. It was creepy but not super scary. I am scared of the idea of a snake invading my space, hanging over me or slithering across my tracks. That to me is a nightmare haha. I would still love to see your snake posts. No warning necessary.
Ah, okay I understand. You already had an encounter with a live snake which was very brave of you.
I think that most people have a fear of snakes, but thankfully as young children on a farm we had frequent encounters with snakes and none of us were harmed by them.
It was drilled into us as kids, to only kill what we can eat and that teaching has stayed with me in all of my days.
So in future when I get a snake on camera, I will know that you won't mind the post.
Thank you.
