SNAKE!

Post by **higgy** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 12:52 pm

I have a definate phobia with snakes,I know,I know why live in Thailand then?
Thing is I live at the top of Soi 102 which has developers all round us and 24 hr security on a small estate of 20 homes.
While out fishing yesterday afternoon my wife found snake skins in 2 areas right near the front door,she looked all over the garden but no snake.
We have a Jack Russell who visits these areas regularly if you know what I mean.
I watered the garden yesterday morning and did not see anything so obviously this snake visited in the afternoon.
We do have a small garden pond with fish in it which attracts frogs so I guess this is the reason.
Question:Is there anyone who we can call to give a closer inspection?

Use an old boy scout trick - sprinkle sulphur powder around the perimeter of your property, we used to do it when camping out and sprinkled it in a circle around the tent. The snakes are very sensitive to this smell and typically stay away.

The word for sulphur is Gam-mah-tahn (Â¡Ã“Ã

We could call St. Patrick as well. A tough one though as with no skins, they're invisible.
