Catch Up #2 (Red Cross Snake Farm)
One day Twila and I visited the Thai Red Cross center, where they have a snake farm to secure venom for use in antiserum in snake-bite victims. (It is also a facility that gives immunizations, one of the reasons I wanted to go. I also hoped they might need a volunteer, but they didn't seem to see a need.)
At any rate, the pictures I have are of the snake show they hold twice a day. I found it to be most informative, certainly worth the 70 baht ($2) entrance fee.
Milking a snakes for its venom--should not be done more than every two weeks they say
That's my friend Twila!:)
A lady in line with me asked to hold the snake together with me--sure, why not? I got the head end.:)
