I am in subsahara Africa and the sight of you holding a snake in that way gives me the bumps. Nearly all snakes here are venomous and it might be very expensive to try to find out which isn't, so as a general rule, keep away from all snakes till you are sure they are dead and cold.

Earlier today I received a call to go have some python pepper soup, but I don't eat reptiles so I passed that one. I hope to someday be in a place where you can actually see a snake and not run for your matchet .
