Today after church, Pastor Paulo's family was sitting with us in our yard when one of the dogs started barking rather fiercely. One of Paulo's son's yelled, "Nyoka!" Snake.
Each of us with broomsticks in hand, Paulo and I ran over to one of the banana trees in our yard. There among the leaves was a Green Mamba, a very venomous tree snake that is distinguished by its brightly colored body. Paulo beat the snake to death. We took a few photos. We warned both Grace and Silas to run away from snakes and tell Mommy or Daddy if they see one. Then we threw it over the fence into the grass.
I will try to get our pictures up in our album in the next day or two, but here is a link for a brief explanation of the creature.
