Not long after we started we saw this snake at the bottom of the catchwater.</p> <p><span class="inline inline-none"><a href="/node/2106"><img src="http://www.batgung.com/files/images/batgung-snake-img_1606.img_assist_custom-480x639.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-img_assist_custom-480x639 " width="479" height="639" /></a></span> </p> <p>After that immediate jolt after seeing a snake, much manly bravado and &#39;snake soup&#39; taunting followed. After all, we were up here, and he was down there. But then he started doing this, and it looked for a moment like he was going to be up here too.</p> <p><span class="inline inline-none"><a href="/node/2107"><img src="http://www.batgung.com/files/images/batgung-snake-img_1609.img_assist_custom-480x639.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-img_assist_custom-480x639 " width="479" height="639" /></a></span> </p> <p>Any manly facade fell right away, to be replaced by some girly squealing. Fortunately, the weight of its body was too much, and it couldn&#39;t get closer than a couple of inches away from the top.</p> <p>It was probably around 3-feet long, and I think from looking at other photos it was probably a rat snake.</p> <p><span class="inline inline-none"><a href="/node/2108"><img src="http://www.batgung.com/files/images/batgung-snake-zoom-img_1609.img_assist_custom-480x639.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-img_assist_custom-480x639 " width="479" height="639" /></a></span> </p> <p>Further on we saw another snake. By then the catchwater was less than a foot deep, so we found an excuse to have a moment&#39;s rest, letting the snake slither off into the distance.</p> <p>MrB</p> <div class="image-clear"></div> http://www.batgung.com/node/2109#comments General snake wong nai chung Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:12:25 +0000 mrb 2109 at http://www.batgung.com
