When you are ready, the next step is to approach the snake. Do so quietly and calmly, using smooth and controlled movements so as not to alarm the reptile. Hold the brush at arm’s length in front of you, and try to remain lightly balanced on the balls of your feet. This will ensure that you are able to react swiftly to any sudden aggression from the snake with a firm defensive prod. Assuming, however, that the snake does not seek to engage in combat, you must then position yourself so that the snake has a clear and unimpeded path to the nearest exit. Then, from a position behind the snake, softly place the brush-head close to the mid-section of the snake, and then use your wrists to flick the snake firmly towards the open door. It is now imperative that you keep the snake in motion. In no circumstances should you allow it the chance to get its bearings, or, worse, to stage a counter-attack. As soon as the snake passes through the doorway, close and bolt the door, and secure the windows so that it cannot return.
You have now successfully removed the snake from your house, thereby ensuring the safety of your family. If you memorize these simple steps, you will be well-prepared to take appropriate action any time you find a snake trying to make itself at home in your place of residence, and you will no longer have any need to fear living in the tropics.
