Upvote for the comment alone. That made me laugh.

Thanks!
As long as the point gets across!
:D

It's the poor old Death Adder that I feel the most pity for in this case?!

The morel of the story is...............
Always carry a torch when nature walking at night and "always" look for "legs" if your not sure if it's a snake or a lizard!!!

But don't snakes technically have legs? Some have vestigial limbs:

That is absolutely disgusting and makes me irrationally hate snakes even more.

Well I am sure that they are not too keen on you either!

Why would you want to pick up a random lizard? Some species can be pretty dangerous. Not very smart on his part.

I found the word "holidaymaker" to be funny.

As for this guy, I'd wager it will be a long time before he picks up any kind of reptile again. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.

Thats a snake's privates. fyi they have 2 johnsons

A blessing or a curse?

a bit of both I would imagine

That's true and some lizards don't have legs as well.
But! It's the exception rather than the rule.
And I'm not going to look for a snakes double willy either.

Maybe he though he was picking up one of these lizards:
(although this is actually an American lizard...)

Wise. It's best not go Googling for "snake, sex", with "two penises", or "double willy reproduction". Especially if you're at work.

Thanks for the tip. I would have done so otherwise, (but only if my boss were watching.)

It's been really cool watching Ozplasmic's karma points go up just since this post. Great find :)

Thanks! But! Kharma won't save you when confronted by the boss watching you enjoy snake secrets on the interweb or picking up reptiles at night?
:D
