Beware. It Is Snake Season! by samusonite: 11:32pm On Feb 10, 2018
DUE TO THE HEATWAVE AND HIGH TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY IN NIGERIA, SNAKES, ESPECIALLY COBRAS, SEEK REFUGE IN COOLER PLACES LIKE INSIDE HOMES.

SAFETY TIPS

1. Avoid leaving windows open for too long. Cobras and Mambas can reach heights that are very high.

2. Avoid leaving your front doors open for fresh air in the evenings. These reptiles are absolutely STEALTHY (too quiet). You won't hear or see them go inside your house.

3 Before sitting under the tree that has that cooling shade, check the branches that there are no snakes lurking in the branches.

4. Check your bed and surrounding before you go to bed, cobras are notorious for hiding under the sheets.

5. Avoid the age old trend of liking to chill outside of the house, with mattresses and wrappers in the evening. Most reptiles are nocturnal (hunt at night and more effective)

6. Not only snakes might bite you, but also the age old human enemy; the centipede (Mosithaphala), which is fast and very venomous.

7. Clear bushes round your house. They attract rats and mice which are the favourite snacks of the most dangerous snake’s favorite meal.

8. Buy snake repellent powder and pour it round your yard. You will definitely decrease the chances of a snake ever visiting your home by 90%.

Beware of confronting snakes that get into your homes. Some snakes can be killed easily, others like the black mamba are very cocky. If threatened, they will chase you at an alarming speed and give multiple bites while still on the chase; and bitten victims may not live to see the next forty minutes. So, just be very careful when trying to kill those snakes.

Stay well and be safe. It's snake season. It's very hot and they are highly active and get agitated and angry very fast.

Misinformation.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals which means they like it warm. Snakes don't look for cooler places, they rather love it warm. They are fast and agile when it is warm and especially on a sunny day. They also dont feel the need to explore and look for food when it's hot.

You'll see more snakes during rainy season, because the rain destroys their holes, it makes the soil soft and collapse it. It also makes them cold and therefore seek for warm places, like inside the house, beside you on the bed, chicken pen, or piled up woods or bricks. During rainy season, many animals, especially preys of snakes come alive eg frogs. This also make them go everywhere.

So, rainy season is snake's season.

This hot season, they are too fast and comfortable for you to notice. They love trees this season. Be careful of mango trees especially

According to your people in christiandom, they say the snake used to be a lovely & friendly reptile until their white-beaded, roastedmeat-loving sky-daddy cursed it for misleading adam & eve. grin

But none of them could ask him Y he did not know that the poor reptile would one day mislead his creatures since he is Omni-whatever grin

I do not mean to insult the christians but i think .......... grin
