Mating Snakes in my Wardrobe

The title says it all! I was trying to go to sleep around 11pm last night, and I could a sound in the wardrobe. When I went to investigate, it was coming from the top cupboard.

I opened it and two brown tree snakes intertwined, and writhing fell out of the cupboard above my head. Oh my god! Absolutely beautiful copper and white markings and really big and fat - they looked at least a metre long.

Digby came to the rescue with a broom, though he did take a while to wake up and get his act together. And the dogs? Kimmy and Mia kept their distance out on the verandah watching Digby do the snake removal. You could see it on the faces - snakes are not part of my job description.
