Belize 1978
Queuing up for my dinner one afternoon, when this boa constrictor came out of nowhere. It was about 12 foot long, it was chased and beheaded with a machete by one of the locals who proceeded to open it up, it had the remains of a cat inside it.
One guy wasn’t so lucky, he’d been bitten in the arse by a snake and headed for the medical centre. We were warned before we went out to Belize, if you get bitten by a snake always remember what the snake looked like so they knew what antidote to use. This guy described the snake perfectly, the medic was impressed, ‘how come you can remember it so clearly?’ He asked. The guy then turned round, the snake was still stuck to his arse.
