Of course when I don't bring my camera...
This fellow was over 2 feet long. My kids taught me the rhyme "Red over black, venom lack. Red over yellow, deadly fellow" so I didn't go close and zoomed in on my iPhone.
Oh my goodness, I would let out a little scream I think, lol, I really don't like snakes at all... At least you had your phone with you Ingrid... I was so mad at myself last Friday, I decided not to bring my camera..... and there was an urban fox was around and just posing beautifully ...grrrrr... AND I didn't have my mobile with me either!!
