Snakes in the Market

Snakes are to Marrakech as poodles in Paris. Sound strange? The snakes here are tamed and seem to be friends with their charmers.

Snake charmers in Morocco handle the snakes as part of seemingly dangerous acts. Many snake charmers wonder to different towns to show off their serpants. The snake handler holds a snake so it is out biting range. Sometimes the snakes' fangs or venom glands, are removed to make a bite harmless.
