Snakes! In a box!

At a market the other day, we found this guy looking quite unperturbed by the fact that one of his snakes was making a break for it:

Too funny! Also, scary.

I'm trying to remember the Barry Crump story (allegedly true) about when he rented a shack in QLD that came with a python. He found his visitors would get frightened if "Rosie" suddenly rubbed up against them or dropped down on them, so he put a sign at the gate saying, "The python is friendly", which reduced the visitors from very few to none at all.
