Didja ever notice that the prettier a snake is, the more UNREAL it looks? Those snakes actually APPEAR to be fake in some of those pix! That's how gorgeous they are. But if they were in front of me I DOUBT I'd be duped into trying to touch 'em, THAT'S for DANG SURE!!
But then again, I've always been known to be a risk-taker!! (Got 485 jumps (freefall) and need 500 to even start BASE jumping (a YET for me!). And at 55 years of age! Just proves no one is ever too old (OR too CRAZY!) to try new things!!!)
BTW, what the heck is a Naja sputatrix? (Sounds kinda kinky!!)
