I'll never forget it. The guy came out with this gorgeous and big Eastern Indigo snake. He walked around in front of the people while talking in his microphone.
I watched the snake slither through his hands and then start nudging his wrist. I thought "uhoh" and sure enough, the snake casually latched on the guys wrist !!!
He had this khaki long sleeve shirt on and I don't think anybody else noticed it. He was such a pro. All he did was slightly raise his voice and tense up a bit. Then he just kept walking and talking while the snake held on to his wrist. LOL. He kept the sleeve low to try and hide the fact.
He finished up pretty quick, though, LOL.
That is one of the funniest and most well handled snake mishap stories I’ve heard. Bet it was a treat lol!
Glad to hear your new critter is doing well! They are such an impressive species in so many ways

For sure! He's gotten used to handling so quickly. When in the enclosure though, he hides in his snall rbi hide strictly, I've never seen him out yet. Which is what I've been told about hatchlings, all typically just in their hides all the time.
Re: Eastern Indigo - Drogon
I've been meaning to stop by and say congrats on the interesting addition red. Drogon looks like he commands the respect of a dragon.
Re: Eastern Indigo - Drogon
Love the video. Great to see him in action, he’s such a beauty!

he has a very "physical" presence. He's a little like feeding a coachwhip but they are more slender, not as strong; they do just wolf down their food though,
and may thrash it around first also, since they cannot constrict either.
I've been told the same, that sometimes as adults, they do miss the prey and come straight out of their enclosure and rush toward your feet, thinking it's prey. Sounds exciting as long as I don't make a mistake. LOL! And I think so too, I love his girth and thick head.

I've never had a snake try for my feet, but a bearded dragon did. :D Spike was a male & got riled up when he caught his image in my mirrored closet door; as I was
laughing, he turned from fighting his own image & came after my feet! :rofl: Guess you'd better wear boots when you feed Drogon...even now he could do a number
on your toes, lol.
