where that guy really they?

Which guy be that? 🤔

This looks like a night adder snake. I killed two in my living room last year. It can live with you for years and you won't notice it. They're venomous but not as strong as cobra or puff adder.

At any age people fear Snake. There is a curse between man and the serpent. They are enemies.

Good day and happy Sunday to you all.
At 45 it still beat my imagination that I get freak out by anything crawling especially snakes.
This morning while coming out from my apartment, I saw this snake crawling inside my compound while being escorted by a bird (funny scenario), I guess it came from the bush opposite my house and crawl thru under my gate.
Immediately I saw it, instead of me killing it I got freak out.
.
I quickly took some steps away and hurriedly went to call one of the two guys working in our hotel which is just the next house.
One of the guy said I shouldn't call him in matters of snake (my likeness)
It was the youngest guy who I am 22 yrs older than that came to kill the snake.
Even after he killed it, when snapping it with my phone, I was scared as if the snake will suddenly come back alive and hurt me.
After that, I took a stick and picked it to go throw away. Still I was afraid.
.
This is me that's not afraid to enter any bush or forest whether day or night.
This is me that's not afraid to enter any dangerous area or neighborhood.
This is me that's not scared of anything be it ghost, armed robbers, cultist e.t.c but snakes no matter how small it's as been my only phobia.
So guys! I'm asking, is there a way I can stop myself from being afraid of snakes? Or is it too late cus I'm too old?

Your own is better sef. As an adult, I am still scared of millipede or centipede.

Being scared of snake has nothing to do with age. It`s like saying, at 45 you are still scared of Lion. Na u sabi

You have a phobia and that's ok. We all have one.

Most times you never know what you can do until you are in a situation where you must do something so you or your family can survive .

No be only you. Three years ago, while I was asleep with my babe in my room, a snake crawled in(till today I don't know how it got in). I went directly under my ribs and stayed there for sometime( due to my warmth body). I got shocked and screamed. Turned on the light and saw it. Omo na so I take jump untop chair leave the snake for my babe to kill o. If you see the drama that night e reach to enter Guinness world record.... My babe laughed me all through the night till night after she killed it

Hahahaha, omo snake come meet me for bed. Na only God knows the kind hearbeat wey I go get.
As for your babe killing it, that will be so embarrassing for you if I am not lying

It was quite scary.

My neighbour's son raised an alarm that afternoon shouting that a snake had just entered the compound through the hole beneath our gate.

I came out of my flat and saw it moving across the compound, it wasn't moving very fast because the ground is German floored. There was nothing nearby to strike it at that moment so I instructed the boy to stay calm, keep a safe distance and keep an eye on the snake.


I rushed outside to get some stones, but by the time I returned, the snake was nowhere to be seen. I asked the boy where it had gone and he pointed to my dish pole leaning against the fence. I was surprised because I couldn't see anything there. It wasn't as if the fence pillar had a hole in it.

The boy kept insisting that the snake was hiding behind the pole. I threw a few stones at the spot hoping it would come out, but there was no sign of it. It was as if the snake had vanished because I used few seconds to get the stones.

Luckily, my wife was boiling water in the kitchen, so I asked her to pour some into a bowl and bring it to me. I poured the hot water around the base of the pole, and the creepy creature suddenly sprang out.

It seemed to be both preparing for a fight and trying to escape at the same time.
That was when I realised it was a cobra because it spread its hood in that trademark cobra style.

The first stone I threw broke its spine, and I finished it off with more stones.

Hmmmm... Honestly that was courageous of you. Cus me won't try such. Na woofer I go take call people come 😀😀😀😀😀

SixSeven:
OMG. So your babe killed it for you?

I went directly under my ribs and stayed there for sometime( due to my warmth body).

Please reword this. I don't want to assume what you wrote because snakes like warmth from my little understanding, so you were even making the situation worse unknowingly

That due to my warmth body sounds so creepy to me. Can't even imagine that being on my body
