Think it is horrifying - sorry!

Firstly that the owner didnt know what snake he had, but mainly that he has allowed it to get 'hooked' onto something that is so bad for his health and must be lethal for his snake! Can you imagine what that snake's lungs must look like? Just think what a human smoker's lungs look like!

Is it true??? I truly hope not and that it is just a media seeking idiot who shouldnt own snakes, and if it is true then he definitely shouldnt own snakes!

Sorry....not a lot gets me cross, but this did !!!

Fair point, but the way it was stated would be in the same way that ****nic is toxic to humans.

That is strange. That's got to be a fake picture, doesn't it? Snakes won't hold something in their mouths without swallowing it, would they?[quote]Originally posted by HannahB

Agree with you BTD and Godzchild, think it is very suspicious and it was one reason it made me cross, whether it is true or not it is so wrong!

Apart from certain compounds which aren't dose specific, everything is toxic to everything if you get the dose right wrong.

I love the dog pic. That's tooo cute. I saw a youtube at Christmas where a dog school in Hungary (I think) had trained their dogs to decorate the Christmas tree. That was such a cute video. I love animal videos and pictures even if they are cartoons.[quote]Originally posted by Paulusworm

The snake lives in Taipei, they have a very different outlook on snakes and other animals than we do. If it was here then i am sure there would have been a monumental outcry, but there are some things in life than just wont change!!

Oh, an Oxygen is toxic in the right dose also!

Think you are very right Mike....you just have to check out this link to see that we have come across this culture difference before - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6020&SearchTerms=india

I do still wonder about the validity of the pic though??
