Caught A Snake In My Bathroom by IndianBwoy(m): 9:56pm On Mar 18, 2016
Hi, first of all, I am Indian.

I realised that it is a fashion in Nairaland to catch snakes. So i set out myself to find one, since I realised in Nigerian culture if you catch snakes it is considered a matter of pride, so if I caught one id me more assimilated and accepted into the Nigerian fold.


So anyways, I did not have to look far. I entered my bathroom for a shower and I see this lovely poisonous adder writing on the floor.

We then catch it and put it in a bucket. However I could not bring myself to kill it as it is taboo in my culture.

The fine among my tribe for killing a snake or coming across a dead snake (especially the King Cobra), is to organize a funeral for it and feed the entire village (min. 100 people). So obviously that'd be a costly affair which i do not wish to indulge in.

We then left the serpent in some outgrown grasses outside.



So I hope this capture is sufficient enough for me to be accepted as a Nairalander

^ try searching for a python. Its more harmless than a poisonous one. So you neednt kill it. Unkess you eat it

Then maybe these Narialanders will accept you. Coz me ive been exposed to hostile treatment here ever since I joined.

At first I thought it was because I am Indian.

But now I realised it was because I never caught my own snake.

I hope this incidence happened in india. If not, you have put some life in danger by releasing this dangerous animal to go scott-free. In fact, if it happened in nigeria, go and recatch/recharm it, Nlanders will help you kill it. The death won't be on your head.

I get your logic and I reason with it. If you leave the snake in peace, that doesn't guarantee that the snake will leave you or your pet in peace. U don sha..E get as E be

In my place we worship snakes. Our main ancestral spirit diety. So my ppl dont get death from snakes inspite of dwelling in areas filled with King Cobras. Happened to my Grand uncle once. Got bitten but survived without medication.

Yes I am aware of that, snakes are sacred and revered in some parts of india, also some parts in Nigeria. But for Lagos Lasan, make nobody hear "snake snake snake". Na die for the snake be that

I think it's because of your beliefs, culture and upbringing you let it go.
