Re: When is a giant a "giant"

Well risking going back on my word, I will say that everything CAN be dangerous. I just don't find snakes all that dangerous as I feel I have a rather strong grasp on what to do in bite and constrict situations. I find it rather easy to manage a 10' carpet python by myself, even while it has one hand in it's mouth and wrapping up my arm. I usually just get them all settled and then keep working until it lets go and put it back. Dogs are dangerous, cats are dangerous, horses are dangerous, driving is dangerous. I don't find snakes nearly as dangerous as any of these things as I still have scars from everything but a snake bite. As for the danger in a giant snake, I would again be smart enough to have in place to the correct safety precautions and back up plans needed to safely work with them if need be, but that has never been the case and likely never will. So I guess snakes can be considered dangerous, but then I have to say that it is far less dangerous then a lot of other things I work with daily. That's not to say I will become complacent and never exercise precaution when working with snakes, but I don't feel overly threatened by them any more.
