In Thailand visit to Reptile Gardens, before I realized what was next, a worker put ~6 ft. python over my shoulders and around my neck then handed the head to me to hold at “the neck” for a friend to take a picture.
Tip (I learned later): Firm hold and keep the mouth away from face and body! Pythons bite first for an anchor hold, coil around the upper body, then constrict upon every exhale of the victim until he dies.
BTW I did NOT get the pic with python - the film did not load properly on the river boat ride...
I DID get the close up pic (taken with 50mm lens) of milking a King Cobra from ~2-3 feet away after the King Cobra “rodeo” inside about an 6 - 8 inch high “corral”
thailand?
