the snakes are mostly kept outside un pits surrounded by wide moats but m the king cobras enclosure is a strong cage of wire netting with m heavy lid so that the most dan gerous reptiles are doubly fenced in once a week the snakes are pub licly fed and two assistants wear ing hih thick rubber boots as their only form of protection go intothe dn with a bowl of milk and a foot long glass tube and by a carefully worked out technique manage to feed the kraits afterwards casting them into the moat cobras arc more active in opposition writhing piles of reptiles lie in heaps about the den and as the assistants ap proach the tangled heaps begin to disintegrate and wriggle away in all directions one or two swell out their hoods and assume a defensive attitude and sometimes strike their deathdealing blows repeatedly us ually at low level where the thick rubber boots receive the bite this is where a steady aerye is wanted any panic on the part of either of the men and they would almost certainly be bitten watching the cobras feed is a fearful exper ience and always leaves me strung up and taut major blake said kven this pales before the feeding of the cannibal hamadryads for which three people are n on man the heavy lid of the wire eagel tain amount of blood is taken from them and it is from this that the serum is made the pasteur insti tute in bangkok keeps more than 600
