And there I was tackling it at arms length with the pool skimmer net thinking I was within 3 foot of my maker.

But otherwise thanks to all the David Belamys out there - I feel safe to go back into the waters again.

you were, you may have fell in the pool and drowned.:D;)

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck: good enough for me and my .410 :angel:

Have I mentioned my dislike for snakes?

Harmless legless lizard

Snake handlers course coming up for me soon. So I can do it right;)
Already get called out when snske handlers are not available. I keep telling people a snake in or near your room is not an emergency. When it bites you then call me, then its an emergency.:o:o

Glad it wasn't me in that pool, would have drowned with fright!:(

Anything that long with no legs looks close enough to a snake to me! Aghhh!

Your "snake" is a Burton's legless lizard. Harmless unless you are a lizard which it eats!
Cheers!
