Mornin' James,
The puff adder is known for having some of the largest litters in snakes, 60-70+ is not uncommon
Cheers,
Alan

Yes these are as I get a good number of these critters every year but according to sources close to you I am told, you would prefer having nothing to do with me.

Not sure how true that is but as you are good friends with Marcel and company you do the maths.

If I wanted nothing to do with you, then I wouldn't ask for samples eh? Stay well.

I try and keep friendly as poss with all when you reach my age you will find thats' the best way to go.

Thanks for the well-meant advice but I was not trying to start any unpleasantness. I merely stated what I have heard to see your response.

If you are saying this is hearsay and untrue I have no problem. What you need?

Weather getting warmer in Cape Town too then; well it is the start of spring. Puffies on the move here as well, and one male cape cobra lying out regular now.

I was called out twice today to remove animals and have just spoken to a family with a snake in their kitchen. I explained to them on the phone how to retrieve the animal themselves. All done

 

Snake season has started.

Very nice. I see you are from Kimberley. Did you go to CBC or KHS?
