Had a nice day today up Wrigglies in Dunstable!
Idea was to bring my super aggressive boa along to get some tips in handling, not a single bite, strike or hiss all day, needless to say it went well and I learnt quite a bit about handling aggressive snakes!
Also after having already learned to how hook and tail various venomous snakes I got the chance to try pinning one, successfully pinned an egyptian cobra! :D
Also learnt how to probe, which will be veeery useful!
Totally great day! |

Most of the day the place was empty but the evening had another training course of 5-6 people so I tagged along and had a quick play of the cobra before going home after the Pilkington handle!
I didn't notice anything new in there to be honest, the king cobra has gone as has one of the croc's. Although there is now a new cobra and a new nile croc :)
you still coming down on the 8th Richard? |

Of course Pilk behaved at Wrigglies. Kids always behave like little angels in front of strangers then revert to devils again once home. |

| They said just to be patient with him and the bag seemed to help calm him, might be an idea to bag him first for 20 minutes or so first before I handle him in future until he chills out a bit. |
