Snakes alive!

 When the children were enjoying their mid- morning snacks yesterday, they were joined by an uninvited guest.
They spotted a small snake near the primary school and Mr Steve was alerted.
Nervous of snakes, he  plucked up the courage to pick it up and called Auntie Velma  to tell the local Snake Farm and rescue centre.
They sent someone to take it into their care, who also explained that it was a garter snake which is harmless to humans.
Not all snakes in Kenya are harmless, which made Steve cautious about handling it. He was relieved and interested  to hear all about it and handed it over for safe keeping  after posing fora  few pictures!.
