Snake in the pool

Thanks KKOB, I feel much better now :-(

Snakes don't bother me its the Scunner's oops scorpions that I don't fancy stumbling on.

Our Scunner is so big now, bewva, you can HEAR him scuttle across the terrace.

Most people can hear our  Keith scuttle across the terrace. especially after a night on the Efes.

Thatnk you, some sensible replies and advice

It's the little jumping spiders that I dislike.  They seem to face you up with attitude.  There are always lots in our garden and in the house.  They give a sore bite 
I do like the little lizards, unfortunately, so does our local cat who, when we are over leaves us little presents of dead lizards outside the door.
We also had a huge centipede crawling up the settee one night, it was horrible. but we did not kill it, we put it out in the fields.  I believe they are quite harmful.

We had one of those enormous centipedes when we were in Karagosler, it went behind a fitted unit never to be seen again. Quite unnerving! Also bitten by one of those spiders while opening up a folding sun chair - so be careful if it's been stored away for a while. Nasty bite.

Most horrible thing we saw was a bat moth... Really big thing flying about on our balcony one night.. Not that I hung around to watch it!!!! Its funny how you get used to all sorts of creepy crawlies walking around your home in Turkey after a while.. I would have had screaming ab dabs at one time.. Same with the huge hornets seen around the pools in Summer.. If you don't bother them they don't bother you and it IS their country.

What about the bats - we used to get in the pool at dusk and keep still and quiet - they'd swoop down and take a drink on the way through. The kids used to love that

I'm still at the screaming ab dabs stage and probably always will be.  My best-est friend in the world when on hols, is my can of cucaracha spray!!
