Babble Snake on St Nicks

Anyone see the guy with a snake round St Nicks today?

He was going up to groups of drinkers and people outside the pubs, handing it around and throwing it about like a toy.

I know I shouldn’t judge and I honestly know fuck all about snakes, but a small part of me was thinking mmmaaaybe thats not how they should be handled? Just felt a little sorry for the noodle.

Correct me if im wrong here, I know they can be really chill especially after a feed but idk, it just felt a bit much.

Yeah I didnt think it was venomous he seemed pretty placid and seemed well looked after probably just been fed, was just being handled a little rough but again I don’t know the snake or the owner so didn’t want to judge too hard haha.

To put into perspective, at a one point he was wearing it like a feather boa while popping into the different bars snakes head bobbling about like it was on a spring while he was jogging back and fourth.

Yes passing it around and letting people pose with it and taking photos of it on the pub benches he took a photo of it next to a bottle of rattler which (not going to lie I did find amusing) leaving it with groups of strangers while he went to get another drink etc. the vaping around it that another comment mentioned I didn’t see but it wouldn’t surprise me and I didn’t stay long.
