I don't kind of get the snake charming or the poor old monkeys. So one guy sits and pipes on his elaborate recorder this kind of tooty music that makes the snake sway. If the snake is being too passive they poke at it with the cushion thing, until it reacts.
Someone on our tour said that the venom teeth have been removed so the snakes can't bite anyway...... would you like to take THAT bet???
If you dare take a photo without paying! Holy!!! I knew they charge and had my coins ready, but NO!!! Random amounts of currency that I really do not understand were not enough!!! Eventually, my hand in his face and several NO's for the answer got him to back off. Come on!!! It's only a snake!!
They don't just have one snake, they seem to have a bag of them and they poke them and toss them out on the paving at will. The snakes are quite passive and kind of snoozy, but I wonder if they have been warm. Again, I don't want to find out!
The snake guys walk around with one of the snakes in their hand and bend the snake to look at tourists as they walk past. Some people are quite happy to have the snakes draped around their shoulders, but as our guide said 'if you have decided to die in Morocco, put the snake on your shoulder or have the monkey come to you'. I think the point is snake bite or monkey bite, it can be a short history for you!!!!
I have already told you about the guy that got bitten by the monkey, so you can understand why I stayed far, far away!!!!
Sit Bear, sit!
Sit Sass, sit!
Just people abusing animals to beg Suz.
