Signs about venomous snakes - would you still visit this place.

But snakes can be anywhere!

@pitstop I know where they will not come (lol)

Thankfully we had a safe visit to this place.

@pitstop good for you!

These are still public spaces with lots of movement in the parks. So hopefully snakes don't get near people even if they are there.

@pitstop It is still risky.

How did you get rid of the snake. Glad all was well.

@pitstop Well, lets just say very carefully. I first made sure all the cats were locked up. Then I got behind it, picked it up and to ssed it into a box big enough so if the snake did hood, it would hit the box and not my hand. Then I opened the front door and dumped the snake in the grass outside. I don't believe in killing them, because it's not their fault they get into our homes. We had a "pet" snake in one of my science classes in high school, so I learned how to handle a snake and not get bit.

@kaylachan that's handy - knowing how to handle them.

That sounds scary. Did it just slither away?

@pitstop It pretty much stayed in the same spot.

I've held non venomous snakes. Would never have the guts to hold a venomous one! That's brave of you.

@pitstop there was a professional nearby. they explained to me how to hold it and all that

What happened to that snake?

It seems a standard warning in a lot of places here e

This is a standard warning in some of the wildlife parks here is seems.

Doesn't Ireland have any snakes?

Does make me nervous!

We're the poisonous ones?

@pitstop The small snake that came to the backyard of my former home was not poisonous. Maybe the snakes that were in the grass across the street in an open field were.

Snakes are slowly migrating to inhabited areas as their natural habitats are growing thinner.
