Wow, Mike, talk about an experience!

I've had a few, but nothing like that.

My first trip I was looking for a "ladies room" after finally shooting an eland I stalked for MANY hours one morning. So I really needed a pit stop. While looking for an appropriate shrub to hide behind I heard the characteristic sound of a puff adder near my right foot. That sound will send a chill right up your spine. Sure enough, there was one there, a big one (heh heh, they always look BIG)! It was still cool in temps so I was able to slip my leg out of striking range, though it did not try and bite. It was right under a small shrub a few inches away from my foot. They are beautifully marked animals.

A few years later I saw two freshly caught Mozambique spitting cobras close up. Had a glass over them and they were in a large barrel. You could see them spitting venom on the glass. Yes, they aim for your eyes too.

I've caught some non venomous snakes in Namibia before as well as a few big short tempered leguans (monitor lizards) in RSA and Namibia.

Once, after a brief rain in KZN, I saw an unusual sight. Suddenly the trees had large bright red millipedes all over the trunks. They were huge compared to what I have around home here. I don't know if they were poisonous, Steve could answer that one. It was a strange sight though.

I think worse than any snakes and bugs are a male ostrich, those things are mean!

Everyday spent outdoors is the best day of my life.
