Snake in the Grass

He had a very loooong visitor today...the kids from next door came and told us that we had a snake on the roof (bless them)...anyway he came down and decided to have a little sleep on our deck. We had to keep the cat inside as he would probably want to have a go at it ...my weird suspicion would be that the snake would win..over 2 meters of muscle to strangle the life out of anything.
Jaiya tried to blast it with cold water from the hose but he was having none of it......I was glad when the kids left to go to the market leaving the poor thing alone to move off in his own time...which he did.

Check the colors...what a beauty.
The extra is a crappy pic just to show length.

We have decided to keep the doors closed to the verandah now...keep the cat inside....I think it is looking for a warm place to curl up for the winter months and we dont want to get a surprise when fluffing up a pillow....they do love comfy couches.
