The other day, when Lucy returned home after running some errands, she threw open the door and tossed Mini-B and the new pooch (still nameless) into the house and told me to come outside.Curled in a tight little ball was a fer-de-lance. It was probably about 6 to 8 inches long. We've seen them before and we will see them again, unfortunately.
This little critter, though, was curled up right in front of the bathroom on the outside of our house. That means that anyone who wanted to enter the bathroom, had to walk right over (or perhaps on?) the venomous bugger.
Being the great chicken when it comes to snakes, I just looked and waited to see if it would do anything. We called Gerardo over and he thought we were joking at first, then he saw the snake and wasn't quite as jovial. He did take care of it, getting it to wrap around a stick (he also had a machete just in case) and carried it off deep into the jungle to let it wander out and about on its own.

That's just the kind of post I had to hide from my wife prior to our visit.
yeah, but now that you've been down here, you know that doesn't happen all the time. . . it's just an anomaly!
