Anta,
Your story about the camoudie reminds me of an incident of a large snake wrapped around a man at Albion sugar estate back dam.
We had a donkey and cart that we used to go to our farm for mangoes and other fruits. We also had a cow for fresh milk and some sheep.
There was a special PARA grass we would often cut from the back dam for our animals. This was tied in bundles and carried home on our bicycle handle bars.
One day on our way home from the back dam, we came across two men casting nets in a sugar cane canal. The weeds prevented the net from trapping the fish properly, so one man returned in the trench to clear the weeds.
At the time of our passing, a large snake had wrapped around the man's lower body and the other man was trying to assist him and the snake out of the trench, so he don't drown.
We also assisted the man out of the trench and as we tried to remove the snake, the snake's head moved around wildly and we were afraid of the snake biting us.
The cane field was new from a previous forest and some tree stumps were still present. The snake partially wrapped its head around a tree stump and the other man took the opportunity to chop off its head.
But the body of the snake was still alive for some time, before it could be removed from the man.
The men gave up fishing and we all went on our way.
Also, during a visit to Guyana, I was staying with relatives at South Ruimveldt GT [sp]. One morning the family dog was barking fiercely at a 'log' by the fence. It was not really a log, but a large snake that crawled from the weed trench at the back of the house.
