When I was at the snake farm there was this video how a snakes venom could affect the nervous, respiratory and muscular system. But the snakes venom can also be used to produce antivenin for treatment. Venom can be helpful and harmful.
Then we got to see different snakes at a live show. They showed the king cobra in a little presentation.
I was the first to to hold a constrictor. It was huge! Everyone said a little prayer so the snake wouldn't kill me. I was trying to be funny and I said "bye, see you in heaven". Then they they showed me a small snake, I was like "that's the snake?" (because they were going to show me a large one) Just then they put a gigantic python around my neck, I was like "I don't want to be eaten by a snake"!
Besides it would be heartbreaking to see a firstborn son be suffocated then devoured by a constrictor!
It was totally awesome!
I love Thailand as just as much as southeren Alberta, Barrhead and Hawaii.
But still there is no place like home!
Hey Steele and Shipley Family! We are glad you are having a great time! We sure miss you guys and can't wait to hear all of your stories. Don't miss home too much, it's being raining everyday. Some days the rain was just drizzle but the gloomy clouds have been hanging in there. This morning was a bit misty which was kind of cool. The other thing you guys shouldn't miss are the mosquitoes, they have been unbelievable and unbearable. No matter how much bug spray you put on they will find a place (like in between your toes) to bite. Keep having fun! We love you!
