Default An Update on Martin, and his 110 day Snake Sit..

I don't think he will mind me sharing some of his recent experiences with you all..


Guys, in here I have no choice but to take what these animals give me. I make the best of it by at least trying to take pictures and sharing them. Please don't try this at home. These snakes are all lethally dangerous and very unpredictable. Snakes don't tame, and its pointless trying to get them to get used to you. The pics are here for experience sharing only.

A pointless staring contest
