    Look on the bright side, at least the adders may keep the rats & mice down

    Glad you sorted it OP.
    Had you not the rspca will come out to deal with snakes, but you may have a bit of a wait, like this poor woman :

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/odd/news/a251987/woman-finds-live-snake-in-washing-machine.html

    She had to wait over night for a snake to be removed from her washing machine! :eek:
    I am petrified of snakes, so glad we don't seem to get any locally. But after reading the above I am warey of using the washing machine..... well thats what I tell DH anyway :rotfl:.



    I would have shut the washing machine door on it!

    I think you'd argue with yourself if no one else was around.

    "Yours" because you posted it. :cool:

    Is there any wildlife you wouldn't like to wipe out completely?

    As long as I started with hippies, I'd be quite content.

    Sometimes I think you're not too bad and then you show yourself up for the nasty hateful piece of work that you really are.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Thats the problem these days animals have more rights than humans.

    If you harm the snake they will prosecute you, If it bites you and you die, well thats life isnt it.

    It wont happen to you again.

    Once we start to treat animals like people, we start to treat people as animals.
