Assalamu alaikum little sister (hope you don't mind me calling you that)? [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]
Yes it is true, I did feel VERY brave doing this. It was quite an experience for me.
There is a big river that goes through Bangkok (I cannot remember the name it is a long time since I was there) and a boat took me to this farm. It was a woman that owned the snakes. She had been biten several times by the snakes subhanAllah, but still wanted to deal with them. Now THAT is impressive.
What I can remember at first I stood WAY back at a distance, but the more I looked at them, the closer I got to them. I saw perhaps the beauty in them, of course they are black and shiny in the skin, and at the same time having in mind how dangerous they are, and I slowly approached. I wanted to get closer. But what I can remember I did not touch them anyway, THAT would have been going too close [img]style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif[/img] .
But I have been to a small place once in Stockholm where there were different snakes and other reptiles, and there I did touch them. That was the next step.
But I will never have anyone in my home, as a pet, THAT is going to far too [img]style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img] I want to keep a respectful distance.
Sorry for the long answer,
nice talking to you
