Snake Shyam, a local snake expert came to Field Base with some rather interesting looking species of snake including a Sand Boa and a Spectacled Cobra for a presentation and talk giving us an insight into their worlds. There were some rather pale faces when the snakes were taken out from there respective boxes!!!
I had the opportunity to hold a vine snake, non-venomous I hasten to say which decided that it would go on an obstacle course through my bangles so I was literally tied to it.
The cobra was taken out of its box and there were many gasps and a lot of shuffling of feet where some of the staff team had quickly retreated to put more distance between them and it!
Did you know that a cobra will not actually bite you unless you step on it? None of us however, were prepared to test that theory out and took Snake Sham's word for it!
Hi Gill W,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how long it took you to move from the front to the back?
Talk soon and have fun.
Love Fran. xxxx
