I thought the snake you had to worry about, if any, was the puff adder,
because it doesn't sneak away when it feels footsteps, but just strikes out
if you get too near?

Aren't snakes in a 'torpor' at night, often down holes or in rock crevices,
so you wouldn't be so likely to encounter them at a night-time loo trip (or
is that just me being over-optimistic?)
