Last night, my house had an uninvited visitor...
It happened before but this one is quite significantly bigger, though both didn't look too friendly to me. Thank goodness my Dad was home. The photo still gives me the creeps, it wasn't exactly tiny. Obviously, i'm not a fan of snakes. I think my biggest concern about it, other than having a strange uninvited visitor was that it might eat Sydney up haha. I don't think pythons will attack humans unless provoked right. We locked Sydney up in the room for her own safety, and when she was released, she smelt/felt that something was amiss, she went on her detective hunt for a good whole hour before finally going to bed.
But anyway, I decided to look up the internet about snakes in houses in Singapore, after the whole drama was over. Apparently, snakes are pretty common in some estates here, thankfully not so much mine. Though my sis did mention that there was once a big ass python outside along the canal and the police was called in. So, after reading up about it, i learnt that if a snake is spotted, you should walk away if you can (duh!). But if like in this case, it's in your house, call the police or pest control (or shout for Dad). And because pythons are not venomous, one should not kill it. Apparently, these snakes are taken to the zoo. Okay, i am now more prepared if i were to see another snake (i hope not) anywhere.
