For the record, a krait is a highly venomous species of snake found mostly in South East Asia.
Kraits are nocturnal and as a general rule avoid humans.
The American soldiers in Vietnam used to call it the 5 Step. The logic was that if you got bitten by a krait you would take five steps and then die. While it is probably an exaggeration of the toxicity of the krait's venom, a krait bite is still a very serious affair. I am a huge snake enthusiast. And at this point its all I need.
