A morning heart starter story from down on the farm:


Just putting stuff in garbage can outside laundry, something moved in my peripheral vision.
There, out of my still uncut grass, was a fricking great king cobra reared up, hood extended, ready to strike. Both I and the dog beside me beat a hasty retreat. Took twenty minutes for my old heart to slow down.
Not sure who was more scared by the confrontation me or it. Suspect it was interrupted while it was busy hunting frogs since it is has been pissing down for four days now. Doubt snakes are naturally aggressive unless protecting food or young.

Yup, probably got a nest of them down there.

Nothing much to worry about.



Narak Loiiiiiii.



Can get the missus some new headware for wearing around the place in case they try to give her a bukkake.

King Cobras generally only eat other snakes, including other cobras.

Back in May, the dog was alerting at the shoe rack so I got on my hands and knees and there a foot from my face was a a snake. Thought it was a rat snake so put the dog in the house and got a broom to shoe it away. When I pulled the shoe rack away from the house, the cobra reared up. We killed it so the little kids in the hood did not run into it. The noises that a pissed off cobra can make are indescribable. It was a lucky day for the dog and I.

Oddly enough, the Siamese cobra, albeit a tad smaller, is much more naturally aggressive and cunning then it's sister species nor finds it necessary to cannibalize it's own.....though often mistaken for others [the markings are quite distinguishable], the Siamese/Indochinese are the workhorses of the bush and paddy alike. And venom is to be said to be more toxic....

^ After king cobras have shagged, the male will leave in order to avoid eating his partner.

"You're either getting cannibalised or I'm going out with the lads. Take your pick, luv."

No romantic post coital bollox with these bad boys.
