Hi jeffreylin, I must admit I do not like snakes but I was lucky I was with a mate who is the local snake catcher and looks out for me.

oooohh beautiful

Honestly as dangerous as this is and well shot! The fer de lance in South America gives me the most creeps, like the komodo dragon a very high kill rate

Thank you Fergal. I am not too keen on snakes myself mate but luckily the friend I go hiking with is the local snake catcher so he keeps me safe.
