Just thought I'd post a pic. I told Don I had zero experience with "flighty" snakes like mambas. Some of you may recognize this big boy. The previous owner draped this snake around him like a boa! Tom Crutchfield has pictures of this in a photo album called "Dont Ever Do This" LOL. After watching Don work with the snake, I decided I was ready to try myself. Honestly I was a little nervous. The sheer size of this animal coupled with my inexperience made it hard for me to pick him up in the air. Thankfully I know my limitations and didnt do anything stupid.
It was a great learning experience and I look forward to working with these animals more one day.
