It's 5.05am and I have just returned from the local cat house who have paid me for services rendered. At first I thought the call was from an Victorian ex-demonstrator who had previously accused me of making a false early morning call but it was the real deal, the girls were cleaning up after a busy(?) Monday night and there was a "Baby Brown" near the vacuum cleaner.
Despite the time, call was at 4.38 am, it was one of the easiest call outs, I get there and there is a mildly venomous brown tree snake in rigid defensive pose on white tiles. A quick and unceremonious pick up and place in bag and, like their favourite type of customer, I was in and out of the place in no time flat.
I don't know what horrified my wife more
The fact that the house of the rising sun is so close
The fact that I would go to a place like that to work
or the fact that the snake was on a vacuum cleaner
The snake has not yet been released - so I'll do a photo shoot. We have far too many geckos here atm so.....
