Venom In Vegas





A guy from Animal Planet is spending 10 days in a glass booth on the Strip, with dozens of venomous snakes for company. He gets visited by camera crews. The snakes are fed cute little mice.
Why do I keep thinking Steve Irwin and Siegfried & Roy?

  2. what happens when he needs the bathroom or goes to sleep? is he there all the time? I wouldn't fancy it & I bet it'd smell a bit ripe too...

  3. Nice shots.

    Is he doing it to raise awareness of something?

  4. He has a bathroom behind frosted glass.

    And he's raising awareness of a TV channel called Animal Planet.

  5. I love the reflections and light in your first photo.
    I don't think I could stand being in there with the snakes eating the mice & such. & I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep at night in there either.

  6. I have to ditto everything that Lily has said!! But I do know about Animal Planet and it does a lot to try and inform the public about animals of all kinds and I think that is good! I'm just not fond of snakes or their devouring mice. Oh, and I am glad his bathroom has frosted glass!! We can probably do with a little less realism in regards to bathroom usage. Great post for the day! Hope you have a great week! Roll a couple of good ones for my, ok???

  7. I don't blame you for thinking along those lines. I would be leaning that way too. Only in Vegas?

  14. I don't bother about snakes, but I wouldn't like to see them eating a cute little mouse. It's already awful when my cats bring them in ... alive ! I always try to safe them, lol !

  17. Great post! First and second shots are fantastic! I'm not very brave when it comes to snakes although I've had some 'close encounters' and a couple of stories while travelling in the tropical jungles... :-)))

  23. I like snakes--but I like mice, too, used to raise them both--but I don't keep snakes any more--in part because I don't like feeding them.
