Progress on the organic vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan's least populous prefecture.

Apparently she grabbed it by the tail, whirled it round her head and knocked it clean out. She then dragged it into the kitchen and gently inquired of my mother-in-law "Can we eat this?". They're made of stern stuff in Chichibu.. My wife, who hails from deepest, darkest Chichibu, tells the tale of how her younger sister caught a snake in their garden when she was 3 years old.

Glad you were cool. But, it is a surprise to come upon a snake, isn't it?...it's been awhile, but I can remember my last encounter clear as the day...it was between me and my back door. I'm from the Northern US so all of our snakes are non-poisonous, but still gave me a jolt of adrenaline to come upon it!

I did know there are on the islands of Okinawa. There is however, the Japanese mamushi a venomous pit viper, which can be found anywhere. It's about the same size as the one I saw, although I'm glad looked totally different. I think the only danger it posed, was to one's cool.
