Murraymint Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 My brother in law was unloading a vessel in Aberdeen this afternoon that came from Africa and a special guest appeared, as first they thought it was a bit of fun, but when it turned on them it was a different story…. Turns out it was highly venomous and took it away with a police escort to edinburgh... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.RAD Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Gosh that looks scary, snakes are not my favourite! What type of snake is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkymart Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Gosh that looks scary, snakes are not my favourite! What type of snake it looks like it could be a eastern green manba or it could be a boomslang but as it was on a boat it could be a green water snake (they like damp areas and i think are harmless) but which ever one it is i wouldn't want to mess with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanto Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 As much as i do like snakes I wouldn't want to meet one not knowing what it was and how fast I have to run. Mind you even when you know what they are they can turn funny as I found out last year when i caught a grass snake that was having a bad time in the waves off Aldeburgh last year, as soon as i got it on the beach the blooming thing turned on me and savaged a finger.

Rhett Turner - Black Country AO Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Speaking of snakes, did anyone see the iguana vs snakes on planet earth the other night? https://youtu.be/Rv9hn4IGofM Snakes hunting in packs, it was like something out of a horror movie. It would have been interesting to see the camera crews, I would not wanted to venture into that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Was a venomous green mamba. Poor sods been put to sleep now after making it all that way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-37949245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrustyjust Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Crikey, they could have moved it to London near the antidote, but understand why. A local shop to us bred certain reptiles and ( although now sadly closed, not sure if it bit him!) he had a rattle snake in a double vivarium. Looked a nasty piece of work and wouldnt want to contemplate it getting out. He grows crocs and other reptiles for the zoos. Shame he's gone, as it used to be a freebee zoo visit when we used to pop in and see what he was looking after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why he's gone! I often wonder whether pet shops should charge admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
