He had snakes that you could hold.
I have a picture of me holding an Indigo snake.
The color, the purples, blue, dark grey glistened and changed as the snake moved.
They are an extremely beautiful snake.
He collected venom from many very dangerous kinds of snakes for research.

That means keep your distance, don't harass.

(Not that a telephoto shot would be harassment.)

When I was a teenager my admired big cousin brought an indigo snake to our house to show his younger cousins. I don't think we knew anything about endangered animals back then in the late '60s. The snake was so beautiful I hoped I'd run across another one. Never did though.
