Today on Rise & Shine: We're talking all things snakes!…
We've got Ben from Victoria on the phone.
Ben, do you have a scary snake story? Well, I
wouldn't call it scary per se, but kind of similar to Andy.
I was growing up, you know, out in the country and on farms and things like that.
So just a normal another Tuesday for me.
Okay.
The place that I work, which shall remain nameless...
Yeah, I was working in their refrigerated section in the produce and carrying bananas.
One of the girls that I was working with screamed because she felt something slither on her hand.
We're all like, yeah, you know, whatever.
Not possible.
Anyway, we've opened up the box of bananas and there's a little yellow river python in the box of bananas.
There you go.
Was it pretending to be a banana? Was it yellow? Yeah, yeah, no, it was yellow.
Yeah, wow.
Okay, in amongst the bananas, it's pretty well camouflaged in there.
You don't expect that when you're just moving some bananas around.
No, exactly.
I mean, of course, my first response is, oh, look at this cheeky little fella.
So I asked him to reach it and everyone's gone,
no, no, no, it could be poisonous.
No, it's not.
Obviously, growing up in the country, Andy, you'd know which snakes are poisonous and which ones you keep
away from.
They tend to be the dark ones, mate, the brown ones and the black ones.
