No, that's not an asian accented retort to my criticism of our manager!
I've just discovered that I have a 2 metre Cobra living under the house. Now I've stopped screaming like a girl and stood down off the chair I have a decision to make. Should I have the beggar topped, moved or left alone? I'm reluctant to call in the snake dude cos he will most likely kill it rather than risk getting bit capturing it. If I instruct him to capture it he will and then move it up into the mountains (at least that's what he's telling me tho I suspect snake stew is on the menu at chez dude). Also I'm led to belive that Cobras are very territorial and have a short range that they keep free of other snakes. To move it would free up a territory which would invite all the local juveniles to contest and therefore more snakes under the house. Not only that it would probably condemn my snake to death as it would be attacked by the resident Cobras. If I leave it alone it won't bother me unless I bother it. In fact it's probably been living there unoticed for ages.
So, what do you think Thumbs Up or Down?

Thumbs Up - I had a very similar problem with sparrows (can give a nasty peck) in the roof area but did not regret letting them stay. |

I would have to say leave it be....... and as as you say Mr Cobra has probably been living quite happily under your house for ages without any probs. And more than likely he's been keeping your house free of other orrible scuttling bitey things for yonks. And also DTG I bet Mr Cobra just loves Fluffy Bunnies !!!  Anyway think yerself lucky .... I've got a Ghost In My House !! |

And also DTG I bet Mr Cobra just loves Fluffy Bunnies !!! Yes they do indeed like eating fluffy bunnies, but I do wish you had not told DTG that fact. The next thing that will be happening is one of the main leaders of the fluffy bunnies will find the parcel man at his front door with a parcel from Thailand. Dave I have just been reading about cobra's and they can kill a bloody elephant with one bite, I say get the man to come and take him away as fast as possible. Make sure no more can get under your house and that should be the end of it. On second thoughts as it kills and eats fluffy bunnies,  get the man to shoot the thing and send it to us to we can make a nice soup out of him.  |

We now have an ex-snake situation. The "mrs" called in the snake dude while I was at work and offed it! She basically pulled rank and got rid cos she hates snakes. They told me that he's taken it up to the mountains and set it free. What a load of old pony, mrs snake dude has curried it!
So sleep safely bunnies, there is one less bunny killer in the world!
