A couple of pics while shooting wild snakes today. Another harsh and wet day... and got bitten 4 times in 5 seconds.. (sounds so typical of i, therefore it ain't so much surprising people).

Just found a little legless fellow a while ago during enjoying a house party in Mt Cameron Road, the Peak. It is a juvenile Wolf Snake. Probably it was the yummy, fleshy geckos that attracted it to come into the backyard of the house. This little fellow was fleeing so swiftly from my hands. It almost managed to get into somewhere to hide completely. Finally I grabbed it but was offered a speedy bite resulting another pair of tiny pinholes with blood on my hand. (more...)

please note that was just the next day after i survived from the accident. i wasn't back to normal yet so i looked and sounded a lil bit nerdy..

Living in a city doesn't seem to be safer than being naked alone in an african or south american jungle..

Last sunday i went back to the baseball pitch after so many years. Right after i left the pitch i encountered another incident that put i so close to death. Reckoned back repeatly in all circumstances it shows that if i were 0.1 second slower i would have been more than heavily crushed. It's the thrid time in life i was real close to death, not including those snakebites or other animal attacks. (more...)

Ain't use to express mine through writing much, let alone writing some not about animals. but everything has its first time.

After feeding my snakes in another gloomy rainy dusk i bumped into an ad of a local indie-looking movie. It was the baseball theme that caught i at the very beginning, as i've been in a baseball team since i was a kid. Later on when i heard it's based on the stories by and performed by the Hong Kong Baseball Team players i kept this movie in mind - City Without Baseball (無野之城). (more...)

We were invited by a local chinese secondary school to build a Reptile House for educational use.

We made good use of the given limited room and budget to establish naturally decorated environment in the Reptile House for over 30 not-so-common animals of different kinds, including insects, spiders, arachnids, salamanders, frogs, toads, turtles, tortoises, lizards, and of course snakes.

Students will be benefited and able to learn lively from it regarding biology, ecology, and conservation of wild animals. Students can also gain hands-on experience handling these animals and learn skills and responsibility taking care of them through fun. (more...)

These days the local news is largely occupied by the Edison scandal.. but I am just attracted by a piece of unusual news that would interest the minority I guess.

Ok... here's the news from ABC: (more...)

The White's tree frog (Litoria caerulea), also known as Dumpy tree frog, (more...)

This year it is a silent christmas in here. I thought it was a peaceful time but from another side of the world there sent a sad and startling news. An escaped 4-year-old tigress named Tatiana killed one and injuried two at the San Francisco Zoo on the Christmas day. As usual, sadly, Tatiana was shot dead at last. (more...)
