We are all so busy because of this silent killer virus. Did you know that there is a new snake in this world? The brilliant scientists in India proclaimed a new specie and named after 'Salazar Slytherin.' I am sure that you are familiar with its name because he is one of the characters in Harry Potter, a founder of Hogwarts School. Moreover, this type of snake is the signage of this school. It was named 'Trimeresurus salazar.' Have you seen this kind of snake? Are you scared of snakes?

I'm afraid of venomous snakes like cobras but not the large constrictors.

I like earthworms, I can kill snakes if entering the house. It was in my old house. By the way, my family and I moved out of the old house early this year.

@ridingbet Well, she did not see us when we got the check for the inheritance. God has a plan for us because it happens before the lockdown. If it happens, she is going to have alibis. At that time, I realized that she cannot deal with us after all. She and her family got scared to see us for the last time. We are still in Baguio City. We were planning to buy a land property and build our new house. But then, pandemic occurred and it will be delayed. At present, we are renting an apartment.

Most of the snakes around here are brown and tend to blend in with the desert colors like rattle snakes or king snakes. I know to respect them but I am not really afraid of them, I keep away from their habitat especially the rattlesnakes.

@Shavkat Sorry I am not familiar with this snake. I am not a Harry Potter fan so still have not heard the name. I do not like snakes at all.

I am not fond of Harry Potter. I just watched movies before. I also don't like snakes. I wondered why some people love them as a pet.

@Shavkat I have a smaller variety and not this big. As you mentioned Indian scientists it must have been in India.

I stay awake from snakes. The closest I've ever been to a snake was a field trip I took as a child to The Serpentarium. I saw them through glass cases. That was good enough for me!

I am not sure if this snake is poisonous. With its color, it might be. I haven't read more about it. It's not cool to be bitten.

Whenever it is rainy days, I used to see one or two in the backyard. I do not have a choice but to terminate with a bolo.
