At first, the singer had goosebumps when a viper crawled through the kitchen of her houseboat and disappeared behind the sofa. Firefighters who were called took it apart, then caught the snake and released it into the wild.
Shocking catch
Six days later, Helena had a new experience with a snake. “A very long snake got caught in the cherry tree. She ate a baited fish,” she described to the newspaper Aha! frightened Vondráčková. “It shocked us because we didn’t know what kind of snake it was at first. Unfortunately, she was no longer alive, so we measured her and reported everything to the conservationists.” pointed out the singer.
He can bite
Then she read more information about smooth snakes herself. “She’s not poisonous, but she can bite pretty good,” Helena was surprised. “When the next few days are snake-free, I’ll be happy…” smiled the singer, who is gathering energy for the autumn tour at her summer residence.
