Ophidiophobics look away now

If there are any other Ophidiophobics out there, this story will probably scare the hell out of you too.

I must be some kind of sadist - for whenever I see a snake-related story on the BBC website, I have to read it. And by the end of it I'm inevitably sweating.

Worst line of this story for me is this one:

"I stepped on a spongy thing on the ground and suddenly my leg was entangled with the body of a huge python."

I know, its in Kenya, but still.

Sent a shiver down my spine...

ps - I know I usually stick a picture at the top... but I couldn't bring myself to a have a picture of a snake on my blog for a week!

Update: shiver
