A_Simple_Man 6,800 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 I took my brush cutter (weed whacker) outside and cut the grass real short around the front sidewalk. I'm trying to get another look at this snake. He/she is either gone or just hiding. I am noticing lots of entrance holes to get under the concrete and I suspect it is in there or returning there from time to time. Anyway, this morning I noticed my wife outside sweeping up all the grass clippings. She has seen the snake so knows it is in the area but she wanted to clean up all the grass clippings and dead leaves in the area. So how many western gals would go outside and sweep the grass around a nest of cobras? I don't know any Canadian gals who would. How about Aussie gals? I told her, don't get bit! There'd be no one to change the baby's diapers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
hookedtothenet 311 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 How about Aussie gals? I know a few Aussie girls that would actually! LOL! But, yes your wife is brave compared to most. You don't change baby diapers yourself? LOL! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lazydays 1,306 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Interesting, those buggers are everywhere except here on Cebu, why is that? Negros too! I wouldn't be too sure of that, there are a lot of one eyed trouser snakes slithering around Cebu and Negros Link to post Share on other sites
Davaoeno 38,448 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't know any Canadian gals who would. Canadian gals are too busy defending their kids from polar bears to worry about those little cobras !! Link to post Share on other sites
Buko Beach 5,086 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Any update on the Cobra under your steps? Pics? Hospital records? Just wondering if the OP's silence was snake inflicted. JK. Link to post Share on other sites
A_Simple_Man 6,800 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Truth is it has disappeared. I hired one of the fearless relatives to go on a snake hunt and it has not been seen. Perhaps it is having a long sleep under my step but I have not seen it since AND have not seen any rats around since that time AND the neighbors chickens have been much quieter lately. Win win win. I'll update when he is next seen. Link to post Share on other sites

No more rats around tells me she is still around. Link to post Share on other sites
Married Kano 53 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 hire someone else to do it... Exactly---The best option is to stay away from it and simply give an adult neighbor or friend P50 to catch it. It will be gone and on their BBQ for the evenings Emperidor and beer party faster than scat! Hahaha. Link to post Share on other sites
KID 9,977 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 OK...so you have a cobra living under your front step. Now what are you planning to do? I would be cutting the legs off my bed and hanging my bed from the freakin ceiling --use step later to get in bed and push the damn thing away at night--the jump down in the morning would suck though my motto is---see snake--run in opposite direction !!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lauie 125 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I once saw a snake in my grandma's house when I was little. Scared, I called everyone but the snake crawled into a hole on the ground. I remember my uncle threw a lot of crushed garlic into the whole. They say snakes hate the smell of garlic. Maybe that's true because the snake really tried to get out of the hole despite it's head getting pounded every time he did. Link to post Share on other sites
