Ok. It was a simple throwaway comment to kinda highlight how uptight some people get about bathing / soaking snakes but I seem
to have stressed you out instead . Apologies .
Just a different take on things I guess . Things that many people over this side of the pond think stress snakes out are seen as acceptable even commonplace here.
