Thread: Baby vs Cobra

snakes are tasty!!!

The snake has been defanged. Snake charmers defang their snakes to prevent injury while they perform. The snake was harmless.

I feel bad for the snake having to put up with that shit. He would be like if you were a bad ass warrior, but one day you were caught and they cut your arms and legs off and made you entertainment for their kids.

Defanged or not it could have lost an eye from an attack, shitty fucking parents.

The baby is being taught the snake can't hurt it too. So what happens when it meets a cobra with fangs intact? It's a sick feeling to see something like that and be powerless to intervene.

I love snakes
When I'm in BC i alwasy catch the little snakes there. Some of the ones i catch are big but the worst they can do is bite and secrete a smelly fluid for defense.
One time, i had caught a snake and i was holding it up to look at it, and it had puked all over me. But from the angle i was looking at it, it looked like it exploded...so i was running around my aunty's screaming, not only becuase i had chunks of clug all over me, but because i though i just wintessed a snake explode.

fun times.

once my son was holding a big garter snake n it was latched right onto the side of his neck. the cool part was Ty, who was 5, was giggling while it was biting him.

yah their bites dont hurt at all
it's more of a shock then anything

Old!

Oh come on now LW, consider that snake, which is a controlled environment, vs what our kids watch on TV everyday, or see in video games, or what kids do when they get bored while both their parents are at work. That defanged snake is less harmless than a cat.

But it's just like teaching a kid that it's okay to drink the stuff under the kitchen sink by putting a soda in there.

Coming from someone who loves snakes and has been bitten by a water moccasin, and damn near died, I can tell you with total confidence that if a snake wants to bite you, he will do it whether you perceive a danger or not. I didn't even see the snake that bit me until after the fact, and I knew how to recognize all of the local snake species which did me no good.

As far as the cobra in that video goes, almost every snake charmer has their snake's fangs or venom glands removed, or have their mouth sewed up. They are probably teaching their child to not be afraid of performing snakes so that the kid will pick up the family trade. While at the same time, they will be teaching their kid about the dangers of snakes that haven't been fixed.

Anyhow, I feel sorry for the snake. The snake is taken out of its environment to perform for people all day. It suffers from lack of enzymes to break down food properly until they get sickly and die. Many charmers don't feed their snakes, and just keep buying new snakes for snake dealers, that way they don't have to unsew their mouth than have to sew it back up after every meal. I think that is a huge animal rights violation.

thats fucking retarded i would beat down all the parents.

i have sympathy for the snake, i think it's ignorant to compromise the quality of life for any animal, but a child should at least be aware of what is actually going on before introduced to snakes. a baby that age uses it's mouth to explore everything and snakes, turtles, lizards etc carry salmonella. that baby also is far too young to be learning anything about one snake is safe and one isn't, it cannot even possibly grasp that concept yet.

$10 on the kid.

Comedy ensues...

Obviously you guys don't know about the American Evangelical religious nuts in the south who talk in tongues and dance with snakes, they even let the kids join in..... seriously my friend Eric in Houston had to go to that shit with his parents his whole life. He and his sisters handled rattlesnakes and spoke in tongues when the Holy Ghost took over their spirit......don't think any country doesn't have it shares of complete cheese slid off the cracker types....

i'm buying Tesla a columbian red tail boa.

Haaaaaa, I want a boa so damn bad! I will have one when I get my first place with no pussy ass roommates who refuse to let me get one. Boas are some cool animals. My buddy had one named Rocky BalBoa, and let me walk around his house with the boa draped around the back of my neck and down my arms.

You might have a good point there, but I still see very little danger involved in that. Seriously, that snake is less dangerous than a cat.

when tess was 6 she held some that were huge, i think the male was at least 8 ft. tyler was just an infant at the time but i think now they're ready to branch out into some more exotic pets. Ty's friend Ronin has a sugar glider.

Tesla wants a bat too so we'll probably look into that. I think it might not be such a good arrangement for the bat.

Can't you just get a cat!?!?

WTF??????? a bat or a snake? thats weird.
