what a day

[westhamsc]

what a day i had. well first off i may be on the mitre 10 cataloge ad around chrismas time but down to the best part as i was leaving work i got a call from one of our good trade customers about a snake in there scrap wood pile so off i went down to have a look when i got there there where about 20 bloke all standing around this pile of wood trying to find the snake i was told every time they heard something they stamped there feet to keep it in the pile :lol: so after lmao at them i started to remove the wood to find the snake but to my surprise i found a echidna who was a little cutey now for the funny part while looking at the little guy i decided that the quills where not that sharp :lol: silly me as i put my hand on her back she flexed he back and now i have four holes in my hand :lol: .

now before someone goe's on about me not being a licenced catcher it was me pick it up or snake with no head.

Do they smell funny? I know that is a strange question but the pig dogs dig them up so I thought maybe they had a strange smell about them?

 

[westhamsc]

no not that i smelt

 

[Brodie]

Did you remove ALL the wood? Maybe there was a snake in the pile that u didnt uncover? Youd have to be pretty stupid to mistake a snake for an echidna!!

 

[westhamsc]

there was no snake mate removed all the wood just incase there was one

Youd have to be pretty stupid to mistake a snake for an echidna!!

well they are tradies sorry to all the tradies out there

Where did you release her?

 

[africancichlidau]

Who said anything about releasing her? Ouch, damn that's sharp

 

[westhamsc]

Jo it was in the new estate being built near langwarrin flora and funa so i realesed the guy there took him up into the sand dunes where all the ant hills are

i decided that the quills where not that sharp :lol: silly me as i put my hand on her back she flexed he back and now i have four holes in my hand :lol: .

Only four? When i handled them at Taronga - even the tame ones - I'd usually end up with a hell of a lot more than four holes, and often with a dozen or so in my chest/belly too.

The holes don't really annoy me as much as the little lumps around the punctures that develop 30 mins later. They itch.
