Snake handler! Suguru knows exactly how to handle you...if he can professionally handle half a dozen of venomous, exotic reptiles that can easily put him down without hesitation, yes you can bet your ass he can for sure handle you without issue.

When he lets you hold one of his non-venomous snakes in his care, he makes sure he is nestled ever so closely and "safely" behind you, aids/guides your arms up in a delicate manner of how to hold a snake accordingly. One smooth palm holding the weight of your arm from your left elbow the other swiftly, slyly gliding along the length of your arm to your wrist, pacing your own hand under the slithering, calm reptiles belly for support of it's delicate spine.

Lidded eyes of glinted fascination and boosted intrigue gently gleams down at you. Watching you concentrate on keeping the reptiles body steady within your guided palms. The lilt in your smile stirs something in his warm chest, and it beckons his own generous smile down at you. Leers in close in to the nook of your jaw and neck to whisper how amazing you were handling his adorably calm baby Burmese python. All while his hot lips curl nearly centimeters away from the tender flesh of your inviting neck.

He chuckles softly when he notices you immediately tensing and shuddering to the sudden adjustment, and not to the fact that you were holding one of his companions, but to his inquisitive "teachings".

Went to a halloween party last night and the costume theme was simply ghosts. So my wife did something extremely funny.

Think you can handle a dangerously venomous coastal Taipan like this? Well there is now a way to find out.

This is even if you have previously done a snake handling course.

Australia has verification of competency for snake handlers available in every Australian state. Using verification of competency training, snake wranglers can check out their snake hunting and snake handling skills and if not up to scratch, you can be retrained the right way. Learn more at https://www.snakehandlingcourses.com.au/snake-handler-course-verification-of-competancy.htm

and stay safe with venomous snakes.

Reasons why Woma pythons are my favourite snake.

1. They have eyebrows.

2. They are illegal to own in Australia (where they're native too) due to being endangered, but are legal to own in America for hilarious reasons.

3. At a medieval festival, I got to hold one. After a while, it dived head first into my cleavage. There was a crowd of like ten people who all got to watch me pull this snake out of my tits like a ludicrous magic trick, and thus...

4. They prefer boobs.

What would happen if beloved unexpectedly goes into labour when Terry is halfway across the world…

Staff.

Realistically, there's staff --- a whole enterprise of people running his mansions.

His affairs, if we will.

Now, I always enjoyed this idea that someone as rich and as powerful as Terry Silver has a network of carefully vetted and very meticulously picked staff around him that all function like well-oiled gear wheels in their own right; like, the man seems like he'd be extremely particular who he keeps around and everyone, I do mean everyone has their uses --- from the secretary assistant alerting him on upcoming trials, to the butler opening the front door, for example. Even the slightly rag-tag likes of Snake and Dennis who might've seem a bit baffling companionship to keep for a Billionaire; but hey, I envision they entertained him more than anything. You'd be shocked how hard it is to find someone who's just plain funny (and who can bring in news and observations from the streets of LA like a pair of mischievous imps when they don't serve as his sparring partners). And as such, I don't think a beloved of Terry's would ever truly be alone (that is just inconceivable and not an option), because Terry Silver's staff --- all of them; chauffeurs, Michelin star chefs, assistants, security detour members, the gardeners, the maids and on stand by private nurses and doctors for all we know --- function like an extension of his will and his presence from the other side of the world --- they're his eyes, his ears, his hands and his mouthpieces (and his Fist imported from Korea, as seen in Cobra Kai), if need be. It is Terry's way to almost be in multiple places all at once, because if he has to be away from beloved or the unprecedented thing like labor occurs, he has all fields covered and under control because his people will ensure everything goes immaculately and that they report back to him and keep him up to speed --- so, really, if beloved started giving birth while Terry's away...well, nothing would happen. Because Terry was ten steps ahead and thought it all through.

And since Terry himself is obsessive, I personally like to envision the staff he pays also has (covertly and not so covertly) obsessive tendencies too, simply because they're heftily paid and instructed to be by their Boss. Makes sense. If you're employed to ensure Boss' beloved and their baby is perfectly fine, you'll ensure Boss' beloved and their baby is perfectly fine by any means necessary.

reblog and say in the tags what kind of animal you would keep as a pet (ethically and legally--no tigers or slow loris or whatever) if you had unlimited money and capacity to care for it. mine is a Burmese python they're so huge and cute

Even without antivenom, most healthy adults bitten by pit vipers native to Appalachia will survive. The deadliest of the 3 species, the eastern diamondback has bite survival rates of 70-90% without antivenom. "Although envenomation by a rattlesnake (Crotalus species) may require antivenom and uncommonly surgery, a bite by a copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) rarely requires any intervention other than observation. The unnecessary use of antivenom should be discouraged." -[2 real doctors who treat snake bites, published in JACS]

Snake-handlers' risk of death is even further lowered by various other factors such as acclimation to human handling or decrease or cease in venom production when unfed in captivity.

I love snake handling, as a religious practice.

Because while they can point at some Bible verses to justify it (a couple gospels use "snakes can't hurt you" as a metaphor for strength of belief, and they took it very litteraly) it's basically a modern invention. Like, the American Christian practice of snake handling is barely over a hundred years old! That's very young for a Christian practice.

It's younger than Mormons and Christian Scientist, and it's mostly limited to my area: the Appalachians.

It's basically just a regular Pentecostal service (which often involves laying of hands for healing, and my favorite Christian tradition, glossolalia!) except they add The Snake.

Like, you're at church, and there's the pews, and people are going up and Feeling The Spirit, and some of them are Picking Up The Snake.

That's alright, it's a harmless snake, right?

NOPE! They use venomous snakes. Usually American ones (your rattlesnakes and copperheads) but sometimes they import cobras and the like.

The venomous nature is the point. They believe that if they're blessed by God, they'll be able to handle the dangerous snakes without being hurt.

And given that this is a relatively rarely practiced thing, and it's connected to faith healing, you might think it's just a con. There's some traveling "holy man" with a well-trained snake that he can "miraculously" handle without being attacked, right?

Oh god no. It's a bunch of different guys and they get bitten all the time. Wikipedia has a list of 15 of 'em who died because of it, and that's just the "notable" ones.

People are allowed to just come up and touch the venomous snake! No training or safety equipment needed, just Jesus. Reportedly people who get bitten are not considered to be lacking in faith, just "it was their time to go". Like, they don't even call the hospital about anti-venom. You just die.

(Did I mention sometimes they drink poison too? Mainly strychnine, possibly because it's survivable in small doses. Same reason: their faith will protect them)

Anyway I really do love it. It's such an unusual thing to jam into Christianity, that I can't help but be mesmerized by it.

But it makes up the majority of 20th and 21st century American deaths from snakes. Most people avoid snakes so even the most deadly venomous snakes in America usually only ever kill by surprise, like someone reaches into a gopher hole and gets bit, or they accidentally bother one trying to piss in a bush. And even then, we've got anti-venoms! Lots of people bitten make it to the hospital and get treated.

So naturally the main group that ends up dying from snakes is the ones who are constantly handling deadly snakes and then refuse medical care.

Grabbing a handful of Death Adders is enough to send anyone into a state of fear unless you are the world's foremost snake expert.
