When you confront a centipede, it will turn around and raise up it's tail to try to make you think it's the head. Cut off the other end.

Had a security guard years ago who picked them up right behind the head, clipped off the fangs with his fingernail clippers, took them home alive and put them into a bottle of Thai whisky. POWER JUICE! :shock: Pete :cheers:

In my garden we have a outdoor shower. There is a 30 cm. drain under the shower. One day about 3 months ago, just minutes after i took a shower before a dip in the pool i saw i frog climbing up from the drain, followed by a ugly snake that our gardener claimed to be a cobera. It was light brown. It think about this every time i use the out door shower SCARY !
Always look at the bright side of life !

Every year they have a big festival in Chiang Mai for those horned beetles, where they get them to fight each other.

I suspect lots of money changes hands... :wink:

caught a baby cobra outside the house and the old man proceeded to kill it with one of the kids plastic swords was quite comical to watch though - the worrying thing was if that was the baby where was the mom?
we got a big lizard thing that lives under the house too - dont seem to do anything and i guess he must eat insects so he can lodge for nuthin!
