QUEEN TAKES IN ANOTHER TROUBLESOME BOARDER

While this blog was going  through the  Queen of the Jungle's wildlife  photo album   to decide  what  we  should next run  in the  series  , she  rang  up  and in a  croaky voice   said  she now has a  large snake in the roof .  What ?  A brilliant   tree snake  , which  suddenly appeared on the back veranda , slithered  across the  aviary in which  the   possum lives, and  disappeared up a small  hole  over the laundry , into the roof  .  Because of  this lodger ,  she was   somewhat  apprehensive  about  showering  at   night  in  case the  snake  drops in  .

Due to this strange  development , it was decided  to run  some of her  impressive   snake photographs  from  the past  showing  a  tree snake  devouring a green tree   frog   and  the  serpent  stretched   out , chasing  the  morsel .

The snake now residing in the Queen's roof  is about the same size as  the one above . Readers will recall the caring  Germanic Queen recently provided  a photograph of  a rare  black  faced  Curlew  which  had  turned up  at  her  residence   seeking   tucker , R and R .
