Missy's critter

Er, Missy and Chappie found this little critter. 

 In my lounge.

 Behind the armchair.

 At 2am. 

 Red-lipped Herald 








 I was thrilled to identify my first snake without my trusty Grant to help me. 

 Capturing it carefully (with an irate kitty trying to get her critter back again) and releasing it in the garden (with an inquisitive dog sniffing at my elbow) was nothing new to me. 

 I'm linking to Saturday critters with Eileen, here

 HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!

    Oh boy. I was expecting to scroll down and see a mouse. I don't like snakes at all and would be freaking out about catching it...lol

    I'm sure it was glad to get back outside.

    I hear you! I've often had to do catch and release. Once, it was a praying mantis who have sharp claws!!!
