Snake in our house

[boybi]

just a few minutes ago, my cousin noticed a black line on the floor of our dining room. upon closer inspection, it was actually a snake! he immediately called me and we killed the snake using a small stainless steel sheet around 4" wide.

i have attached pictures of the snake. does anyone know what kind of snake is this? is it poisonous? is this just a baby snake or already an adult snake? if it is just a baby snake, is it possible that the mother is within the fences of our house?

the snake is around 10-12" long. it is colored black on its top side and grayish white on the bottom side. its mouth can open up to around 120degrees.

baka nga may kasama pa iyan delikado ..takot ako sa ahas.
.kahit sa zoo iyan lugar ng mga ahas ang di ko pinapasyalan

i also saw that kind in our backyard but didnt noticed it until my dog was sniffing on it. may nabasa ako na one way to determine if its poisonous is through the shape of the head. if its oblong or rounded, then its not. the poisonous ones have an edgy look, parang pinahabang hexagon.

Parang na feature na ni Kuya Kim yan sa TV patrol wala naman daw kamandag. Pero kahit na anong sabihin nila ahas pa rin yan hehehehe

[boybi]

sabi ng kusinera namin, house snake daw yan. hanggang ganyan nalang daw yan kalaki, meron din daw syang napatay na ganyang snake the other day sa may garden namin sa likod. hindi daw poisonous ganitong snake. pero kagaya ng sabi ninyo: snake is still snake takot pa rin ako.

looks like a baby python to me... mukhang natigok nyo na ah? ahehehe we get a lot of that here sa tagaytay... (mejo gubatin ang area namin... we would see it sa streets, road kill) used to have a pet python kaya lang nakawala... its better safe than sorry so lalo na pag d nyo kilala yun snake never approach it.. naghahanap siguro ng warm spot kase lately malamig e...hehehe!

[BoEinG_747]

dapat cguro check nyo na garden nyo baka may mga kasama pa iyan

[boybi]

hehe, syempre pinatay muna namin bago ako nag-kodak baka biglang tumalon sa akin or magspray ng venom kung picture muna bago i-dedo ang snake.

[GerardTagayty]

garden snake? oo nga dapat ni dedo... anong pinangpatay nyo? hehehe! sa house ng lola ko normal na ang snake.. hehehe non venomous naman... we would see it sa mga exposed woods sa roof yun walang kisami? hehehe and minsan kagat kagat na ng dogs... hehehe

[peklat]

usually nman kapag sa bahay nakikitang snake.... may mga kasama pa iyan.... baka pati nanay niyan nakasiksik lang sa kisame ninyo..... the best thing to do ay magpakawala ka ng daga.... kapag nawala ang daga..... siguradong nilamon ng snake.....

hehehhe..... joke lang.........

watch out for another one...... baka meron pa

accdg. to discovery channel, poisonous/venomous ang snake kung diamond shaped ang head, pero kung rounded hindi daw.

pero bakit nyo pinatay, para mo na din tinapon ang swerte mo this year.

4 years ago, after parking my car at maglalakad na ako sa door namin, may isang sawa na itim na nakapulupot sa garden set namin. never noticed the snake, I only noticed the cat stalking it.

quickly got back to the car, and called my dad who was sleeping na in the bedroom. then my family woke up and the commotion sort of scared the snake away ... it slithered na sa garden until it faded sa shadows.

months after that, sinuwerte ako sa business.

release a couple of iguanas in your house...they will make it a snake-free zone...



























...kaso after 1 month may bagong thread si boybi "how to get rid of iguanas in our house?"

[GlennSter]

[just4u]

bro, i think most of us ang una natin reaction when we see a snake is to kill it bago tayo maunahan. Di ko na ata titignan yung ahas mabuti just to see kung oblong or edgy yung head. Natural instinct na natin to protect ourselves and our love ones. Well pag anaconda or boa constrictor yan e takbuhan na

[Galactus]

Naku boybi, magagalit sa yo ngayon ang mga animal activists nyan! There's a "humane" way to kill kasi a snake, hindi dapat pinupukpok sa ulo ng maraming beses...ehehehe

[kimpOy]

last saturday lang may ganyan din sa amin...buti nandun ang brother ko to kill the snake (wala kasi ako sa house)

yikes! a snake in the house...

well, usually snakes don't attack humans. and they are more scared of the us than we are of them. yun ang sabi ng discovery . Also, I read that snakes usually roam around where their pray is present. Siguro madami daga sa bahay nyo. And I thought the only paternal link that snakes have to their offspring is only at the time of birth. afterwards, kanya-kanya na ata. so i would'nt put too much thought that the "mother" would still lurk around the house... anyway, its what discovery and nat geo says

pero wawa naman yun snake hehehe. Its just trying to survive. I think yun potrayal ni hudas as a snake talagang may effect sa atin lahat hehe. ako rin, pag nakakakita ako ng snake it scares the freak out of me. And the fact na, ang default perception ko sa snake is poisonous agad... pero di pala(thanks nat geo ) napapanood ko, usually they capture the snake by covering it with a blanket, tapos tinatapon na nila sa labas. I wish I'd have the courage to do this. hehehe. baka mauna pa ako tumakbo haha

[shadow]

pwede siguro yun mga pest control, kaya siguro nila yan hanapin hideout ng mga yan
