Puff Deadly.





We couldn't let the opportunity to get a close up gander at a few deadly snakes at a little mobile reptile trailer we found on our first morning in Cape Town. Each snake had its own little wall to wall carpeted unit, a picture window to look out of and a whole mouse or rat delivered direct to the unit each week. The story of the Puff Adder sobered us up a bit sharpish though. A tiny puncture from a Puff's fangs to your back leg and a few hours later that leg is hisssstory - as it'll swell and puff up until it bursts. Nigel made a swift note on his i phone for us - 'AVOID THE PUFF ADDER' and then we sssssscarpered while we still had all 4 limbs.
