raging-rawrpants: earthandanimals: If you are a traveler and find yourself in India.. DO NOT attend this horrid “entertainment” They capture WILD Cobras, rip out their fangs, starve them and keep them in that tiny box. These snakes can reach up to 18 feet. EIGHTEEN FEET. That box is no where near livable. Please, please don’t give them ANY of your money. If I ever come across this.. and there are newly wild captures snakes.. I’m going to buy them and release them back to where they belong. The second snake seems to be a python or a boa. I’m sure his/her teeth are also removed. For safety, North African snake charmers typically stitch closed the mouth of their performing snakes, leaving just enough opening for the animal to be able to move its tongue in and out. Since the members of the audience in that region typically believe that the snake’s ability to deliver venomous bites comes from its tongue, rather than fangs, the public remains satisfied watching the snakes’ tongues flickering through the remaining opening. The downside for the snakes is that they soon die of starvation or mouth infection, and have to be replaced by freshly caught specimens. For those charmers who do not de-fang their pets, this may include introducing the snake to a hard object similar to the pungi. The snake supposedly learns that striking the object only causes pain.
