Snake Charming

We saw many snake charmers in Jaipur, but they were adults. It was strange to see children control the snakes, others doing amazing acrobatics with real flexibility. The cobra or viper is poisonous, but when you take a photo with the adult snake charmers, you can touch the snake in the basket. When I did this, the snake gave me a fright, you can see it in the photo hahahahahaha. This child is learning the profession soon!

Ser encantador de serpiente en India, es una profesión...Si,si, inclusive en Calcuta el pasado Febrero unos 1.000 encantadores de serpientes se manifestaron, en protesta por la ley que declara su profesión ilegal. En el año 1991 la realización de espectáculos utilizando cobras y otras víboras, así como el uso comercial de reptiles en general., fué pohibido en India, aunque en muchos sitios turisticos, puedes verlos tocando la flauta a modo de espectáculo callejero para que les dés un donativo o "guan dólar" por hacerles las fotos. Según se dice, le quitan los colmillos a las vivoras y cobras para evitar las mordeduras, aunque viendo la "indolencia" con la que se mueven..Sospecho que también la tienen que "narcotizar" con alguna hierba. Aunque parezca mentira, esta profesión es tradición en algunas familias y un derecho que se obtiene al nacer dentro de ellas.

Reportedly, take away the fangs and vipers to cobras to prevent bites, but seeing the "laziness" with that move .. I suspect it also has to "drugged" with some grass. Oddly enough, this profession is tradition in some families and obtained a right to be born into them.
