I looked at the snake twice and not longer than 5 seconds lol, even in the picture am scared of snakes Joan, it's that bad with me.
It was nice that the apartment we stayed in Umhlanga had aircon, the heat was too much at some point we had to put on the air condition.
I keep good distance, always chat to guys in forums to check on what snake I'm looking at for future reference. Not bad idea having a couple to take out the rats.
Hot wet blanket effect, you definitely hide from the heat here, very different to anywhere else I know.
