Herald or Red-lipped snake.

Hey, I have quite a few of this in my garden. They are all juveniles and only about 30cm long. Some have already been killed by my dogs. Two I managed to save though :-) They are Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia. They are mildly poisonous and their fangs are right at the back of their mouths. Not dangerous at all but because they put up such a fight when molested, few people have the guts to grab them. Here is a YouTube video clip.

Michael and his Tatoos :-)

I work with inmates on a daily basis. (Yeah, I know, I have a stupid job.) Most have tatoos all over their bodies.

However, when they get out of the prison, some want to leave the 'ugly marks' behind. Is not so easy though - unless you have tatoos like this :-)

I hope he get's enough of them now so that he won't bother as an adult.
