There are signs up warning people to keep their dogs on a lead. My nerves were already jangling before we set off on the 4 mile walk last week.
Husband-who-thinks-he's-so-clever kept making noises that made me jump. Comments like - ohh look at that, had me leaping in the air. His - Oh my God - actually made me shriek. Turned out to be a rather long slug on the path in front of us. Oh how he laughed. We didn't see the snake- but you know, if we had, I might just have kept quiet and let it eat him.

Oh God, that is a slinky sort of freak to have wrap around your ankles. No wonder quite a few of your characters obess about snakes. Damn that husband of yours!
He also said - boas like to go up trees and then grabbed my shoulder. More freaked out behavior from me!
Just watch your dog around a boa. Dogs make a nice meal for them.
An African proverb: “A weapon which you don't have in your hand won't kill a snake."
Here in Missouri, many of us carry snake guns, though, as I watch my Dad randomly fire at the snakes in his cove, I feel the urge to strap bullet proof vests on the surrounding neighbors and pets. Which is worse? A bite from a snake or a bullet? LOL
We don't have guns here! If I had one, I bet I'd never hit anything. To be honest, I'd rather be hit by a bullet than bitten by a snake. They really freak me out. I know boas only contrict but..... I have no idea if this snake (That's the actual one in the photo) has died or is still out there living on local wildlife.
