That's terrible news
here's to a speedy recovery! I didn't realise it can stay in your system so long, that's really scary stuff!
I am
terrified of snakes (I usually do the whole run away screaming like a girl/burst into tears thing) so I'm really hoping my backyard doesn't start harbouring some slithery creatures this summer. They seem to keep their distance though, we usually only get carpet snakes or green tree snakes.
I've only ever seen them when walking at Springbrook or Binna Burra and my boyfriend is continually reminding me
not to freak out if I see a snake so I don't run away and end up over a cliff. Easier said than done though!
