Last evening the Lisle noticed the lamp on the front desk was off - the timer was out of sync or something. So, he unplugged it and discovered.
Yes I was wearing work gloves to do this even though it was pretty obviously dead - - No I am not brave!

Yikes!!!!!
OK - so every once is a while, things happen to remind you that you are in the jungle. Monkeys and birds are pleasant reminders - this one not so much.

Fortunately it was dead - seems to have stuck its head in the grounding socket
While I would love to be corrected, I am pretty certain it is a coral snake - no idea how it got in, but appeared to be coming out from behind the extension plugs - no idea how long it had been there, but was pretty dried out.

Just think it was a Milk Snake instead... non poisonous.

According to my little chart it was a coral snake. Color order is red, yellow, black, yellow, red and so on. Good thing it was dead!
ReplyDeleteya - looked at all the sites - red on yellow you're a dead fellow / red on black you're ok Jack - - was definitely red on yellow!
DeleteIf you read the fine print it only works in the eastern US - the specific species of milk snake isn't tropical - - either way don't think I am taking the time to sort it out if I find another one with more life in it!!
