[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 162753, member: 428"] Perhaps all the rattlers in that pen are accustomed to his presence and don't feel the natural urge to bite him, kind of like a tiger in a zoo. They don't completely lose their instinct, but it's become pretty dull. Just speculating. For years as a teenager I was terrified of chasing cows and calves around a pen to separate them for branding. I didn't grow up ranching so it's hard to get past the idea that if you fall down you might get crushed. But, much like this snake handler, I suppose once you get used to it you just know how to deal with the animals in this environment. Third option: Mr. Snake Wrangler is mildly retarded and doesn't understand they might kill him. And maybe I'm completely wrong on all counts. [/QUOTE]
