You know! now that you mention something about this, is there really a reason for this round-up.....i never really put it to thought, but it does seem messed up! do any of these snakes live after this?

do any of these snakes live after this?

Unless a snake can survive having it's head cut off by a machete...no.

It's a cultural thing.
