Description
This sweet little girl's family raises snakes on the Mekong River for breeding, for its meat, and also for medicinal wine. The snakes are raised to serve the needs of the wealthy, and a tidy profit can be made each year by raising pythons.
Girls may be "sugar and spice and everything nice", but this girl definitely has a bit of snippets and snails and puppy dog tails.......a heartwarming and charming sight!

Wow, quite a story! My sister in law kept a boa in her mother's basement and swore us to secrecy because her hubby would never step into the house. She would have gotten along with this young girl very easily! l/f

What might seem unnatural to us is anything BUT to some. Eye-opening! Thanks so much, Julieanne! :)

Truly a look at a form of daily life that we can only imagine here in our western world. I like the snapshot look to this work, as it really is a snapshot of that little girl's life. Great work Toni.
