RE: COMMENT CHALLENGE: WIN HIVE FOR COMMENTING AND ENGAGING ON THIS POST!!

in HiveGarden2 years ago

When my husband first moved to Australia he was anticipating all kinds of weirdness,plus snakes of course. One day he noticed something under the native grass by the birdbath. Omg honey, he said... Are these snake eggs??? No honey, just ordinary eggs, I said. The chickens had been laying there without us noticing. He must have been totally freaked out and didn't think. To this day we call eggs 'sneggs' - snake eggs.

Another time he saw this strange ectoplasmic goo in one of my pots. Freaked him out. It was just bloated water crystals that I had put in the soil to stop the plants drying out 😂

We did see a fireball shoot across the sky once, standing in the garden looking at the stars...

LOL! Your hubby is amusing and easily freaked out hehe!

Sneggs are elongated and a lot smaller than chicken eggs. Didn't know about this until we found 3 which we thought were something else so we intended to keep them on a pot with soil until my old man told us they were snake eggs haha! We immediately threw them far away.

Omg I showed that to jamie lmao. I can imagine you CHUCKING those as far as you could!!!!!

The husband brought them to the farthest he could get them :D

Sneggs. That's funny. 😄 We DO have lots of snakes eggs here, to the point of the local facebook snake identification group now also happily identifying snake EGGS if you post your pics. ie are these likely to be 35 baby & deadly vipers or cobras about to hatch, or will they more likely be useful rat snakes (the name speaks for itself) or pretty vine snakes who help keep the frog population manageable.

That's so freaky. I guess Jamie was right to be alert but I've teased him relentlessly for years about it 😂

Haha 😂 I love the sneggs story! Very funny 😆

Lol... He was expecting something weird that even the normal became weird to him... Snake eggs? Oh my goodness! 😂

I hope I don't get a knock on the head when I mistakenly call eggs "sneggs" here 😁

I can understand the man, when fear comes rational thought flies out of the window.
I hope he eats sneggs now for breakfast and has conquered his fears.
I hate snakes one of the few critters I hate. I can get a bit paranoid around them too.

Oh yes we are always alert for snakesbut have never had them in garden so I'm not worried about that too much...

That's so funny 🤣 snegg - snake eggs!
