Found this snake coiled around a plant near our front door. I think it's a python so it should not be poisonous but was not very sure. Tried driving it away with a stick; didn't want to kill it but just make it go out into the nearby forest. But it kept coming back into the garage. When I tried to prod it with a stick, it started attacking. Had no choice but to whack it. Was not sure if it's poisonous or not. Later, I noticed that there were no more tree frogs in our lanai (which used to have about a dozen of the nimble light-brown creatures).

now the fact that there are also no frogs around my place just sent shivers up my spine.
Just glad to learn none of you were harmed by the snake sir.

Thanks, guys. Learned later that it was a python. Feel sop guilty for panicking. Am normally OK with snakes. I guess after than Phil Cobra invaded my family room, got a bit too jumpy.
In hindsight, it was one beautiful snake.

Wow, what a beauty! if it's a baby python then there could be more. Next time call me I'll get rid of it. $

Sayang. It is a beautiful one. Iyak si Lala. The only plus that I see is when a snake appears in your house, you appear in PBPF. There should be more sightings of different varieties. What about the beautiful dove on your Macaranga tree? Your ARK, ready for sailing in Ipo Dam? Hey, we miss you Ding. Take a chance on the cuckoo in UP. Bounce back, don't let the gears dehydrate in your dry box. You have been missing a lot. A draught of bird photos is unthinkable. No draught for the waterman. telyd

Thanks, teLyd & Rey. Boat still some months away to completion.
It is sad that the Phil Cuckoo DOve did not appear this year. Was hoping to take some easy backyard shots just to keep my shutter finger alive. It was an El Nino year and the doves' favorite tree blossomed late and sparsely. I hope they return when the climate becomes more aggreeable next year.
