    Here’s my thing.

    Someone comes at me with a snake, I’m going to laugh at them.

    Like, wtf dude? Have you trained that thing to bite on command? You gonna throw it at me and hope for the best?

    Even if I knew that it was a venomous snake, and not a constrictor (which, I’d recognize a python, they are one of the most popular kinds of snakes in the pet trade. Might mistake it for a boa, but not a cobra lol), it isn’t a great threat at all. Dude is more likely to get bit than I am, aggravating the damn thing.

    I dunno, maybe im weird, but snakes as a weapon just isn’t scary to me.

      It isn’t actually threatening, but if I’m not the owner of the store and/or it is insured against theft I’d be happy to play along like I am scared of the snake rather than be menaced with a different weapon that could kill me for real.

        Now that’s a good thought!

        But, you haven’t fooled me! You are just a chicken! Ha! Busted
