Bro,

Better remove it, they will eat anything within reach.

But suggest using tongs or double gloves. ;)

:cry: :cry: but stp NS duty so no time to remove it leh.... unless i take off but my sergeant wun let me take off unless got very important things leh... and my fren sick then kena confine sia dun wan that to happen to me also... :offtopic:

but how to??? its in a burrow in the sand under the rock work..... will a crab trap help??? i'm thinking a creating a trap with a trap door that can only push in.... but i read from a book that it can grow to 1 m when its head is only 3cm diameter sia....

It's gonna be tough... even if you set a trap, you'll be surprised how quick and how agile this fella can be to retract back into the sand... best would be to lure it out... maybe use prawn meat and try to attract it to come out as much as possible ( if half it's body still in the sand, you'll have a hard time ) den maybe just use scissors to snip the fella into half... :devil: :devil:

Keep us updated k?? ;)

If I were you, I will kill 2 birds with one stone by sacrificing a little of my sleep when I book out.

Instead of resting, I will fish out the worm. :devil:

Then I will bring it back to camp and leave it right outside that %#$^* sergeant's bunk! :D :D :D

[jinhui]

lol.... like that only we put things inside his SBO making it heavier, throw him in muddy water, use our sir's order to over write his order.... he very sadist 1 lo small small thing other sergeant say can but he is always the 1 who opposed it....
