i know the guy from www.ballroompythonssouth.com does the lottery in like, August I think. . .I think its $150 for a bag of 10 "Wild caught snakes straight from Africa" and the way he explained it to me was "They come in in a crate full of bags of 10 snakes, then without opening the bags, they separate the bags into boxes and ship them out to the people who paid for the lottery". . .thats just what he told me over the phone, but if you're curious i'm positive you could jump over to his site and give him a call. . .I think his name was Michael Cole
