Never underestimate the abilities of a one meter male Puff Adder - TopicsExpress



          

Never underestimate the abilities of a one meter male Puff Adder to sink his fangs in you when you think the situation is under control. A cautionary tail to the youngsters who think they know it all. No, I didnt get bit, however, when his nose bumps your hand unexpectedly at the end of typical full on roundhouse type strike theyre known for, you count your lucky stars. All happening while I was trying to tube the bloke for his second injection of antibiotics. Yes, folks they do learn your moves quickly. I was wearing Blue nitrile gloves at the time because hes sick (otherwise I would not be giving him antibiotics) and use them for infection control. I will never know for sure but I THINK this is why he didnt bite. They mask the color, scent and heat of my hands as a byproduct of their aforementioned purpose. This may have confused him just enough, Ill never know and Im not in the mood to repeat this adventure to study the theory. Next time he goes in the squeeze box. Take heed kiddies...Big slugs can move a hell of a lot faster than you think!
