Snakes in Bangkok

Video Title :	Snakes in Bangkok
Description :	Thailand is home to many friendly snakes. At the Red Cross Research Institute in Bangkok, there is a snake farm where venomous snakes are kept for the purpose of producing anti-venom. For a couple buck, you can get up close and personal with a variety of poisonous snakes, including the Common Cobra, King Cobra, and an assortment of Kraits and Pit Vipers. You'll watch the handlers "play" with the snakes, and then feed them and milk them for venom. A couple of the handlers have wicked-looking scars, thanks to the snakes, as well as some witty anecdotes that accompany the scars. It is interesting, and somewhat educational. If you go, I recommend that you sit in the front row.

Great stuff, when I went you were able to stand right by them, we were about eight feet from the king cobra. Awesome experience.

ive been there! it was awesome :D

cool, thanks for sharing.

Amazing! thank you for sharing this with us

At the 3:00 minute mark, you can see the venom that they just milked from the fangs.

If you actually watch the video, you can see the handlers milking the snakes for venom. This isn't some tourist sideshow - this takes place at the Red Cross hospital in Bangkok, the sole intention of which is to produce antivenom. How do you suppose they produce antivenom if the snakes aren't poisonous?

This is the most gorgeous pair of snakes I've ever seen on video. My constrictor would love to see this.

Unlike the shows you see in India these snakes seem healthy and they still have their fangs and venom glands.

You can't tell that they still have there Venom Glands/Fangs. I can guarantee you these snakes are Voided and/or there fangs have been removed.

Uh duh, they are demonstrating the venom. Also in cobras when you remove the fangs and venom they beginto die and slow down. That is why cheap tricksters do it.
