That was a small python that could not possibly constrict you. Pythons are not venomous so for the most part not harmful to humans until they get sizeable enough to eat you or bite you. The bites are still non venomous. . I knew all that after I went online to research about it. Thanks tho. Best regards... ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png) |

1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV [9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I don’t know what you’re passing through this moment, but Set your heart and Say this salvation prayer with me and be saved. “Lord Jesus come into my life, I accept you as my Lord and Saviour, now with my mouth I confess you as Lord over my life. Thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen.” If you have said this prayer then you are now a born again, welcome to the family of Jesus Christ. Please look for a living church ⛪ and worship. God bless you. |

Timagex: Hello people. My name is Taiwo and I am a portrait and nature photographer based in Nigeria. Today, August 19 is world photography day. I had an encounter with a snake around May, and I have decided to share the experience today. I did my NYSC P.O.P on August 16, so, by May, I was still a corper.
It was in Akure, Ondo state. There was no electricity (as usual). Our landlord turned on his generator and we took the opportunity to charge. After plugging our devices, some of us sat outside to receive fresh air and wait till 9pm (when the generator will go off). . I was reading a novel with my disloyal Torchlight (Just wait to see the disloyalty ) and my back was resting on the fence. So, it was some minutes past eight and everyone has gone inside to do one thing or the other. I was alone outside.
Suddenly, I started having this farmilar feeling of "something wants to happen". I initially thought maybe a scorpion was around or something. I turned on my Torchlight to shine around me, I didn't see nothing. My body was supposed to calm down after doing that, but it didn't. I instantly knew something bad was around the corner. My heart raced faster. I didn't know what told me to on the Torchlight again and shine it right beside me!! Brothers and sisters, by my left, I saw a fairly big royal python coming towards me !! it was very close to me!!! . Immediately the light from my torch fell on it, it stopped and kind of looked up at the light!!!!! That was the moment my very wicked Torchlight decided to blink twice and go off!! . Ladies and gentlemen, , the speed at which I jumped up from the plastic chair amazes me till today!! I shouted blood of Jesus and ran inside the lodge to alert others. The ladies stayed back. of course!! we looked for sticks and I made sure I didn't smash the head more than once, because, the photographer in me just saw an opportunity to take pictures of a python! The devil suggested I preserve it in my room till the next morning!! . What if it wakes up and decides to cuddle me in the midnight?
So, I took a few shots the next morning and replaced the slightly smashed head in Ph otoshop. Nobody helped me to hold the dead snake or the stick it was on. Very challenging, but, I got the shot and I am happy. Shots were taken on my Nikon d40x and 55-200mm lens. I need a better camera for wildlife and stuffs. Yes I know!! But, economy is hard. ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png)
cc help me push it to the promise Land. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) Your picture was nice, but you wouldn't have killed the snake. You would have kept it in a bottle and allowed it free in the wild. ![cry](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cry.gif) |
