He was in the village a couple of months back with three dancing monkeys,but when I say entertainer I meaner a chancer trying to knock out herbal potions.
Anyway walking the dog early evening I hear the P.A and spot the crowd so have wonder over for nose.
Same feller with his misses but today he got a large python and a three foot iguana on the floor, he spouting on about what looks to me like just a clump of ginger and a bag of bark.
Not impressed myself but bell the wife to get up here and show the boys the large snake and lizard.
Whilst waiting I spot a slatted box next to his truck with another snake that looks bigger than the python.
I was keen to crack on with me walk but also curious to know what his party trick was.
When the wife turned up I got her to ask him and was shocked when she said it was a king Cobra.
What the fuck can he do with that!.
Through the wife I fired fuck knows how many questions at him,as I have so far only seen a dead one and it was not that big.
With the python and iguana in their boxes he motioned for everyone to move back (not needed really )and opened the box with a stick.
Im not fucking joking it was the biggest snake I have seen outside of a zoo.
What I could not work out was why it seemed so placid and pretty slow,thought they were aggressive fast Bastards that would be spitting and trying to attack.
He only got it to rear up by holding about three quarters down and even then it only flared out and brought its head about two foot of the ground.
He explained that this was a nice snake which was female and he acquired it as a baby
I did find looking at the horrible fucker interesting although it just did not make any sense to me.
I was expecting the feller to be constantly working the snake with hand and stick,not let it loose with very little interference.
Seen the small Cobras in Goa getting charmed out of their baskets which from memory looked far more aggressive.
Its a new one on me Placid Cobra,but then all I know about snakes is to leave the Bastards alone!
We got any reptile man on the forum?.
