i was around a friends place,havnt seen her for ages.and i forgot about her *pet*
we was sitting at the kitchen table when her OH came in with the *pet* around his neck, a darn snake, i ran made me jump my poor heart was going bumpty bump. had to use my angina spray. i dont like snakes at all. and that wasnt even a big one. think i would of fainted if it had been bigger.

Oh what a fright you must have got. Shame the hubby didn't think to warn you. When we had the snake it was never out if we had people in unless they asked to see it out!

Poor, poor you Cath!! I'd have been out of there as fast as my legs could have taken me! I'm utterly phobic about the things. I couldn't even go in to my friends house after they got a snake, never mind be in the same room (shudder)

Re: had the fright of my life today


It was a bit irresponible to not have told you it was out the cage it's not an unusual phobia after all is it?? You may get used to it over time when its in the cage and allowing yourself to get closer to the cage each time and building up your distance.

Re: had the fright of my life today


Awww I feel for you I don't mind snakes but spiders EEEEEK. I think it was a bit mean not to warn you first and ask if you were ok if it's in the same room as you. I doubt any harm was intended tho

Glad you are OK!
