Default Beware!! It does exactly what it says on the tin !!

Its been a while since i posted on here, but just thought i would share this with you to serve as a warning for mums and those that may not realise.

Just had a phonecall from a mate, who by the way is paranoid about flies in his room, in case they get into his vivs.
He keeps his room immaculate, the vivs immaculate and the snakes in perfect conditions.
When hes not in his room, if the window is open, he hangs a net curtain over the vivs to any stop flies etc etc

Well, his mum went into his room to look for any washing, saw two flies flying around and knowing how much they are not liked in the room decided to get rid of them.

Have you guessed yet??

She closed the door and the window and emptied what she confesses to have been, half a tin of "raid" fly & wasp killer into the room.

She went back in to find two dead flies on the window cill.

What she did not notice, as she left the room before closing the door, were the 21 dead snakes as a result.

Lost:
Male and female royal
Two pairs of corns
15 x 07 hatchlings



Spare a thought.
