Snake Charmer by dkbarnett

Snake Charmer

I was fascinated by this cobra - the man assured me that his poison glands had been removed, but it was still a rather angry snake. It was probably only about 1/2 a metre from where I was crouching in the grass to take this photo. Just to the left of the snake charmer is a very large python which we had just had draped around our necks for a photo op. It was very large and very heavy.
What interesting shots you have in your albums. You are a brave soul. Fav.

Now that is so interesting to see. It has marvellous markings on the back of its neck.

@judyc57 Thanks so much - that is a lovely comment :-)
@jgpittenger I'm not sure about brave Jane, probably trusting and naive !!
@eudora @alinz Thanks glad you like it.
@merrelyn Probably because you know much more than me about snakes?
@paul10 Thanks Paul :-)
@hrs Thanks Helen
@robz Yes I was very intrigued with those markings - to me it looked almost like a face. Maybe to stop something attacking it from behind?
@gardenfolk Haha - there were a few people who wouldn't come any closer!
