Snakes Alive!

We had a bit of time in Kasane, so we checked out the Snake Park.  Once again, the signage wasn't exactly the best, so we found it more by accident than direction.

We drive up to a small compound fenced in with high chain link.  We weren't sure it was open, but we ventured in.  Soon we were greeted by our guide.  After paying a small fee, we were given a personal guided tour.

This was a collection of mostly highly venomous snakes.  Here's a fang from a Giboon viper.

I have always been a snake aficionado.  As a youngster I caught a lot of snakes.  I am a bit more cautious here.  The only free snake I have seen roaming around was a spotted bush snake, but it is poisonous, if only a little bit.

Here were snakes galore.  The spitting cobra followed your every movement outside his cage.  The pythons were big enough that the handler couldn't enter their pen alone.

In the Garden of Eden it was Satan in the form of a serpent who tempted Eve.   At that point G^d created an enmity between man and snake.

Now here is the quiz question, When Satan asked Eve about the Tree of Knowledge, Eve exaggerated what G^d had actually said.

And that exaggeration has been faithfully carried on in many congregations today.  Check it out.
