Nature & wildlife pictures

Dunno what it is but I am with Indiana Jones on this one as all snakes give me the creeps. Eels as well!  I've caught eeels in the past and had to ask my son to take them off the hook as they send shivers down my spine!

I realise they are beautiful creatures and used to see loads when I lived in a moorland cottage, but I always kept my distance and observed from afar.

Spiders I have no ptoblem with and can happily let them crawl all over me but snakes............nah!!!!

I'm sure I read recently that a dog was bitten off an adder and the anti-venom cost the owner over £1000 to administer by a vet as it's mainly kept in case of humans being bitten?

PS Just had a thought, include ducks necks in with above. When grabbing a duck the neck is so snakelike it also gives me the shivers

A lot of people feel that way about snakes. 

the £1000 for an anti-venom is complete poppy cock! Or the vet is running a very lucrative scam. The vet up here has always got it in. Unfortunately lots of dogs get bitten every year.

I new I had read it somewhee? https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor...d-23922096
