I’ve never seen that. First of all at the reptile house in El Paso, Texas, there was a reptile contract, reptile garden run by a guy named Jerry Tordt. And he had in this reptile house a snake pit that was a brick wall surrounding a moat and there was about 200 diamondback rattlesnakes in there. He had hourly shows, pit shows where they would take and give a lecture on the difference between a venomous snake and a harmless snake. And they would pick the snake up on the hook and let it slide down until the head was close to the ground. Then he would pick it up by the tail and hold it out. And it was kind of a showy, carnival-type show. But it had an educational aspect to it, but it was a show.
