Vonda and the Serpent

1 comment

Early one morning as Vonda and I were driving down the little dirt road that went to Coral Gardens near Xcalak we came upon a Boa Constrictor lazing in the middle of the road. We had to stop; it wasn’t moving and being of the live and let live persuasion we couldn’t run over it. Vonda decided it would make a great picture so she got out to take a closer look. She stood directly in front and snapped a photo. The snake didn’t move. She walked around behind it and took another. Still, it just laid there. Fearing it was injured she decided to be Steve Irwin and grab its tail to move it out of the road.It was not injured. The snake immediately turned on Vonda and actually hissed. She jumped, I jumped, the snake jumped. Where was the video camera when we needed it?
