Hello! Are you on Facebook? If you are, join the Facebook Group “Snake Identification”. You can post the photo there and a group of experts can identify it. If you aren’t on Facebook, look at the pictures in my post. Do any of those snakes look similar? Can you describe to me what it looked like? And where are you?

Wow Alona! There is really a lot that does into playing the kuku on the djembe! (Did I get that right?) I always really enjoy your writing. I think you have a gift, but then you amaze me in other ways too, such as your insight into interpersonal dynamics (i.e. conflicts between the children), your scientific knowledge, which btw, Bryon and I got 23andme kits and he wanted to know if you will have a consultation with us when we get the results! 😉
