Found this fellow while digging up an old dam that we want to use to attract Buffalo and Lesser Kudu. The eles will likely dominate it though…

What, may I ask is the typical reaction an elephant has to a snake? Personally, when ever I see the black racers, I’m mesmorized by them when they lift themselves upwards gracefully. I live in Florida and I see a lot of them, very beauutiful. Haven’t seen an eastern diamond back in years, too bad ( habitat disappearing).

Theresa,
I can’t honestly say how elephants react to snakes. they have bad eyesight so if they did see it it would be only at the last second. i imagine though that like most animals they would be frightened.
black racers are my most favorite american snake. i worked in massachusetts where they are now, not very common. those snakes are very well named - they can really scream around.

Hey Pal,
Any update on the big rat? I love following you around Tumaren through your photos. Very cool. Hope you guys have returned to some normalcy there. Keep well and cheerio.

Marcus,
News Brief: The rat escaped. It only happened the other night. Kerry’s mum let him wander the house at night. he has been content doing this for a month even jumping once on julia’s head while she was sleeping. have you ever had a rat the size of a siamese jump on your head at night. anyway, he got out the bathroom window. it is for the best though. he is strong now and he finds himself back on his old turf. hopefully he has also learned not to mess with mongeese.
cheers, jc

Anyone care to know what my favorite African snake is? The green and black mambas tie for this prestigious honor! I use to love watching my hero the late Steve Irwin handle snakes, he was a hoot! Crikey mate, I miss him!

we have black mambas here and i have only seen a green once when i was a kid.
they are very special,, and a little terrifying - crickey, i’m not as fearless as steve when it comes to mambas.
