in any case, I couldn't tell by looking at the clip

when he stroke at him his mouth was closed at all times

It's pretty much guaranteed that the snake was tampered with. Cobras rarely 'dry strike' with a closed mouth, especially under that amount of pressure. Also, they are teaching that child not to fear/respect a dangerous creature which he/she is likely to encounter in day to day life. It's sick what people will do for the sake of the camera.

It never even occurred to me that someone might have done something to the cobra..........guess I'm gullible too.
That is SO rotten, i feel awful for the poor creature, he must be absolutely terrified!!

grrr
I am so anxious this morning
I'm so worried that something won't work out at that expo today
it's not likely that Ben didn't get a pm i sent him last night at 6:30, right?
what if he hasn't checked?
oh man - being anxious is exhausting
I need to go attend to the snakes I've got

Rhea, deep breaths, deep breaths, "Wooooo-saaaaaaaa"-- (remember Bad Boys 2? LOL) All will be fine!!!! It's going to be a great day, just wait. Can't wait to hear all about it later!!!!

Not much available at the pet expo I visited today. A few dozen corns, a few Corallus hortulanus, ball pythons, one Pituophis melanoleucus sayi (the only interesting snake there imho) and one Mexican black kingsnake. No garters or water snakes and I was there a couple of minutes after they opened.

That´s not only typical for the place you live.
Gartersnakes are rare on local fairs in Germany too.

reptileparadise · 10-21-2007, 03:59 AM

Are they really?
I thought the garter 'community' was quite big in Germany?
A well...We will change this! Haha

zooplan · 10-21-2007, 05:10 AM

Most garters are sold via internet or on the big fairs like Hamm, Bamberg or Mannheim. Some German breeders also go to snake day in Houten as well.
