And this is one of them....
This little cutey just loves wet weather, and we have had a couple of months now, of rainy days - which I think must be the breeding cycle or something - because after a couple of months of wet weather you start to notice these things running around.
And they run fast.
This one was about 9 inches long, but i have seen them over twice this size.
Fortunately you do not see them very often.
If they bite you, you cry. A lot.
Having never had the pleasure of the bite myself, I can only go off reports - but they are all bad.
The most credible one is from a friend of mine who was ex 'special forces'.
He definitely qualified for the 'tough as shit' league.
He got bit by one of these cuties.
HIS words not mine - " I fell to the floor and screamed like a baby for hours" - he said it was the worse pain he had ever endured - and I know some of the others pains he has endured.
Which mean this bite must have been baaaaaaaaaaad
So I killed it. Two times in fact - just to be sure
( I have notice a couple of different types. They are similar- but different.-so I'm not sure if one is worse than the other..)
I was in a cabin on a beach in the full moon island in Thailand and one these about 9 inches long bit me on the neck at midnight when I was sleeping. It felt like a snake bite. I was really scared and jumped out of bed in the pitch black to find the light switch. When I saw it burrowing under my pillow I grabbed the pillow and got it out and then washed my neck in soapy water and taped all gaps in window and doors. Lot of pain but survived it

I lived in Thailand for a few years and took my holidays to one of the islands. The island I was on this time was Koh Phangan and I was renting a little beach house about 30 minutes bike ride from the ferry in the south, but I forget now what it was called

I had one of them feckers under a toilet seat rim in Thailand.
I was stopping on the top floor of a hotel with a toilet flushing problem, for most of the day when I flushed, the toilet would fill up, then slowly drain down, at night it seemed much better and acted like a normal toilet.
I took a young lady back there one night, and the days deposits were still sitting in the toilet, and knowing she would want a shower I hurriedly flushed the "bog" sure enough it filled to the rim, good job it did though, as dark red one of those went swirling down the hole.
Imagine a bite in the bollox "ouch" no thanks.

It probably would have been on the backside I suppose, but still it would I imagine be beyond a doubt bloody nasty.

I clicked because you opened with "This little cutey..."
And I was all like-
That thing there looks like a monster.
And then the terrifying truth unfolded...
IT IS A MONSTER! 😱
Nine inches?! Twice that?!
Plus, because you never name the creature this reads like a horror short. And this notion (that it's fiction) is the only thing that will allow me to sleep at night, for if I knew what to call it, you could damn well bet I'd google it and NEVER go where they go. NEVER. Nope.Nu-uh.
