A) You know that many people behave less than rationally when it comes to snakes.
B) He may be a bit of a jerk but at least he didn't kill it.
C) You're the one that actually opened the bag when it was close to your face ...& you're the pro.
Maybe I'm missing something here but why the upset ? |

I'd like you to try doing upto 10 calls at all hours of the day and night, every night and then not get cranky when someone does this to you.
That's why the upset!

That's why the upset! | OK , well thanks for pointing out my "ridiculous" comments .
According to my new REP Aus mag , there are 15 species of Elapid in Darwin , So why would you open the bag (as you said you did) when it's that close to your face ?
I can see your point , but stuff like that is all part of your gig isn't it ? |

So let's suppose that scenario again , what would you do differently after the bloke thrust the
bag into your arms ?......that's my point . I think it's great that you do the job you do by the way. |
