I cringe every time I look at that second one Arthur! I think it's behind glass, but that doesn't stop the feeling.
For an absolute snake novice like me, do you know what these are?

I took these at Ballart Zoo. Both shot thru glass. I can't remember the ID of the first one. The second is a python.

It's the "who's having who for dinner" that I'm worried about Birddog!

Hi Birddog,

guess what, the snake is going to end up in somebodies
kitchen if the price is right !
A few months ago they (people in the Meh Kong) sold
an enormous lizard for some exorbitant money.
Went into someones kitchen.

Yes, the snake's meat are delicious with our Asian traditional cook, 7 courses dinner, a big cobra which we often bought whenever we landed in Soc Trang (Mekong area) after a long day doing the air support in the AO.
Coupa litres of pure rice wine, still warm from the distiller, yes, we got someone doing the works for us and we enjoyed. Got drunk after, and the next morning walked to the gunship with a Co-pilot who supported one side for me to walk straight, the Co-pilot did the preflight check with the crewchief and we airborned, coming back in the afternoon, we knew we still alive and again we had the same joys throughout our TDY. That was the life of the Gunship crews during the war.

Snake wine, you have to know how and what is the quality, some of the wine is not the first lot, they may be is the third or fourth refill after the first one gone.
Cheese! better then any type of medicine in the western way, I still love to drink it!
