Wow that's a big one!!

Some of the boys from my compound were called to the garden the other day to help with a situation! The situation was a HUGE snake!

The boys calmly killed it and then carried it home in order to skin it (apparently you can sell the skin). I am told that some people eat snake but the Ceesay Kunda boys said that they wouldn't be eating it.

Though it was fascinating seeing such a big snake I am slightly alarmed by the fact that a snake of such size was living so close to where I live! I think that during my last few weeks here in The Gambia I will have to ensure that I actually do wear covered shoes when walking around at night!!! (Not that covered shoes would make a big difference if a snake that size was ready for the attack!!)
