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.

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

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.

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!
