The Cobra Show!

Posted on 02 October 2006 by


On the last day of Mobius 2006, John Starkweather, Jenneth Orantia, Derek Snyder, Joel Evans and I went to the Phuket Cobra Show. What happened next was nothing short of amazing!

My new friend, the photo-op snake

One guy, two cobras

One guy, three lightning fast vipers

One guy and a really huge king cobra

Pay no attention to our squeals as the snakes do their thing. And just to keep this post relevant, here I am with my JasJar…and my new bud, the Phuket photo-op snake!  ;-)

To add to the fun, Nandini at Born Rich has posted another snake picture (minus the JasJar).

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford

    I have a total phobia of snakes so just seeing this pic is enough to scare me. At the local Science museum, the kids were allowed to touch these albino snakes and I’m like totally freaked out. So, I’m way too chicken to even try to click on the links.

    I once almost stepped on a garden snake once, on my own porch! I got so scared as I watched its forked tongue stick out at me and slither away before I could even react.

    I’m not getting anywhere near this.. ;)
