What is your snake thinking?

[Bogertophis]

This video is pretty old. NERD posted about it a couple years ago. The lesson bears repeating, though.

I didn't even look at the date- I just thought it was a great example of what can go wrong between humans & snakes- truly hoping to prevent such events. We get new members & visitors all the time that didn't necessarily see this when it was previously posted.

And I don't necessarily think it reflects badly on our "community"- it's about learning the right from wrong ways, hopefully without duplicating the wrong ones.
People make mistakes with all kinds of animals- for example, some dogs will react to a stare as threatening, & attack. It's about understanding your animals.

I'd love to know if she still has this snake though.
