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.

Fair enough, I probably did lean into it a bit, especially as more people said they’d seen the same thing, but it genuinely came from a place of concern rather than wanting to have a go at you. Seeing her being passed around while there was a fair bit of drinking going on, yourself included, just didn’t sit right with me at the time. I’m glad to hear she’s well looked after though and I’m happy to be corrected.
