Answer to Blog Contest #3

25Oct10

Unfortunately there were no correct answers to Blog Contest #3. Possibly it was too difficult to guess. The man was a snake dancer. His pet is a python. I think it is about 12 feet long. I believe he weighs about 60 pounds. The python was found on one of the offshore islands adjacent to Zanzibar. The lodge we stayed at, Sultan Sands, had different entertainment each evening. This night was a snake handler.

When he finished his presentation, the audience was invited up to try their skill at handling the snake. This last photo shows me giving it a try. My wife thinks I’ve gone mad. I was nervous but I just had to give it a try. This kind of opportunity would never come again.
