Ozzie Python,
I think you should be commended for your thoughtful and sensitive post.
With respect to getting a photo – much easier said than done. It depends upon the surrounding terrain as to how likely it is for a snake to be spotted again in that area. It depends on the species – Tigers are fairly sedentary but other sizeable elapids can range far and wide. For someone who is scared witless of them, no easy feat to find the courage to confront your fears, in an area where you may not know where it is until you ”stumble across it” and then to remain cool, calm and collected enough to take a photo. I think if I were in the same circumstances I would simply want to forget I ever mentioned it.
I thought the comment about the phone was most unwarranted. I have still to decide if it was an attempt at humour or a twisting of the knife. Perhaps the author could enlighten me.
