The pucker factor on this job? Off the charts!
What part of the anatomy is"Her Home"?
Well, there you go.
I used to lurk sometimes at a website for people who keep "hot" (venomous) snakes,and you wouldn't believe how vehemnet they are that it's their "right" to keep these snakes,without licensing,without training,without having to provide proof that they know how to properly keep them,and without it being neccessary for them to provide their own anti-venin. They get exotic snakes from abroad,ofetn smuggled,some for which there is no effective anti-venin.
The US stocks of anti-venin are low right now,and often zoos have to part with the stocks that they keep for their employees,for people who keep these snakes and handle them.Then when the zoo needs it,they may not have it. It can take many vials of anti-venin for some snake bites.
The people on these websites get downright indignant at the very idea that their snakes could endanger themselves,their families,pets,or unsuspecting neighbors. Some keep them in too-small or insecure cages.
It's as if the most irresponsible people,those who feel no accountability,keep the most dangerous snakes,in some cases.
Now they're bringing in snakes like mambas and Russell's vipers,for which there is no truly effective anti-venin,and what there is isn't stocked in large amounts in the US,because those aren't native snakes.
I used to shudder at some of the things I read there,and the way some of the people were so cavalier about handling these snakes.
I'm not sure how a venomous snake is a pet. You can't pet it or touch and unlike fish it pretty much lays in it's aquarium waiting for you to make a false move. At least with a rabbit you can pet it and give it cute names, and if you get bored with it you can just whack it on the head and make stew out of it.
LEAVE the effin snakes ALONE!!!!
