Jazz has had a terrible experience with a snake!
She lives in a small gated complex in PDC, in Lanzarote. Only 3 houses, one wh pool, and private and communial gardens. Most of the time, the other villas are not occupied, as one is the weekend home of a family who live in Arrecife, who rarely come to stay, and the other is empty most of the year as the owners live elsewhere also, and only pop in now and again for an overnighter.
Well, a few days ago one of the families turned up and that's when all the excitement began!
The long and the short of it is this - the Grandpa saw something in the toilet. Something that shouldn't be there... He thought Miguel(the Grandson) had pushed something down the loo - as small boys are wont to do... Sooo... He flushed - But ...
Oh no, it was till there - and, God! Now it's moving!
On closer inspection, he can see it's a snake! A red snake! Large as life in the loo!
Anyway - a hoo ha kicks off naturally... Grandpa and Dad grab the snake's tail... and pull and pull... I don't think they'd really thought about what they were going to do once they'd got it out, but anyway, that's a moot point, coz Old Red's decided he ain't going nowhere... Lol!
The police were called - you can tell this is not the sort of thing that happens often.... and then of course the government vet. Lol!
Meanwhile, everyone is alerted, and Jazz is standing holding the baby, terrified the flipping thing is going to escape and come after them!
Anyway... between the Guardia civil and the vet, they manage to let the damned thing go.... back down the toilet and into the pipes under all three houses!
Jazz is now beside herself, and cursing the fact that she has 3 bathrooms because at this point, she now has to run indoors and put books on all the toilet seats in case it decides to make an appearance in HER house!
Grandpa is going wild because he should have killed it when he had the chance and furious with the police... who called the govt vet, who in Jazz's words... "wouldn't kill a mosquito..."
So smelly perfumed crystals have had to be bought and dropped down the toilets to discourage it... heavy books now rest on all toilet covers and Jazz is peeing in the shower - too scared to sit on the loo in case it slithers up - and bites her on the BUM!
That's my youngest daughter... my baby girl... So why have I got tears rolling down my face as I type?
Because it could only happen to Jazz... Really... only to her.
