Serpent Belly Dancer

Hi Bob well it seems that u r going to release pics and events of the said festivals in Part Well its nice show and its really great that they give u info about it, well i have seems some girls playing with snakes and lions but in circus only Other things few years back we had snake charmers and some guys who show some shows of bear, monkeys in street, but its getting rare now Take care

I have not. I am so glad that you had a lot of fun! But, it sure sounds like a lot of fun. I might go someday. I think that I might see a real Alien before I get there.. sense I dont think it will happen in the near future! LOL

[i]Hi Grandpa B, wow..that is amazing! I haven't tried seeing a woman dancing with any of that animals as a props! but, that is cool that there is a lecture after the presentation, I know people love to learn from it! I have tried once having a large snake on my shoulder when we had a tour back in my Country...We asked the caretaker to join us and hold the head of the snake..LOL! it was very huge and It was amazing touching it, he could barely move that time since he was very full! [/i]

I had a boa about 4 feet long and once pet my brother's friend, Hugh's, 8 foot boa. I have pet a gater, a young shark, a hairy spider, (eww) a bunch of other snakes. I have rescued snakes from my cats, I'd rather touch a snake than a rat.

I can't help thinking that the alligator must be REAL tamed. Nope never seen a serpent belly dancing act..As far as handling snakes myself...yup--not afraid of them at all, as I had one friend who had a virtual zoo at her home...cats, a dog, macaw parrot, lizards, turtles, tarantulas....and yup a fully grown Python which I handled one time Then one time when I was with my mother at DisneyWorld....we were staying at the Polynesian Village and we were at the beach area..all of a sudden I see all this movement on the sand...itty bitty baby lizards that must have just hatched...but yikes they were headed toward the water! thought oh no...the poor things will drown themselves...so I dashed and one by one scooped up each baby lizard before they could reach the water and placed them all to safety..so I obviously don't have a fear of lizards either..LOL

I have never seen one and don't want to! I hate snakes. Now it would be cool to see the lizards and alligator without the snakes! And, I'd like to see a real belly dancer. I have thought of trying to learn to belly dance before.

wowww... that is really cool grandpa bob... no, i haven't seen one yet in my whole life and i would like to have a chance to see one if i can... it will be really cool to be able to touch the snake and alligator... i don't know whether i will be brave enough though to do that or i will be too scared to do that when the opportunity comes... take care and have a nice day...

That's one brave (or crazy) woman there! I am terrified of snakes but oddly enough the really big ones don't bother me as much. I did touch a very large python at the zoo in Memphis a few years ago. They had it outside of the cage for people to pet. I thought I would be too scared to touch it but it really didn't even seem like a snake. It was so big.

i have heard about belly dance, pole dance, pole bellydance but never serpent belly dance. may be it is fun to see but i would dislike to see it because i hate lizards. i am allergic even at the very sight of it. so no chance of seeing it.

No way would I ever dance with a snake, alligator or a lizard. I am so scared of reptiles like that. The only time I have ever touched a lizard is when my brother would chase me with them and throw one on me at time. Maybe that is why I hate them? hahaha I don't recall if I have ever touched a snake or alligator but I don't think I have. I could watch the belly dancing with the reptiles from a distance maybe.

Hi GRANDPA BOB! I have seen one in tv but never yet in a live performance. It must be awesome but kinda scary too. I have touched large snakes before, boa constrictor in a zoo before. And I am really nervous when I was touching it. My husband has pet snakes before and he used to dare me to have one of his smallest pet snake to have it curled around my hand. Well, I did accept the challenge but it really made me scream when the snake is slowly wrapping its cold body around my hand and tightening its grip little by little. I can feel my hand going cold and can see my hand getting pale. Yikes! Take care always..God Bless!

There are some things that I would never do in my life and touching a snake will never be one of those. In fact, I would never even get close enough to touch one, I would be running away screaming.

I have never seen a dancer like that but I did used to have a Burmese Python named Donovan. He was about 12' long when I had to give him to a herpetologist, he was too big! He'd follow me around the house like a dog and curl up on my lap when I read. He crawled into my bed one night when the heater failed and man, was he COLD!! Snakes make wonderful companions. I'd like to touch an alligator but never have yet.

hi grandpa bob I have never seen a belly dancing show but it' looks really interesting. Yes I have tou ched snakes but very reluctantly. we used to go to the Snake pit In Rapid 'city and watch the snake shows. They had a lot of different kinds of snakes and educated us on where they came from and all sorts' of information. then we got tohandle some of them but I kept at a distance most of the time. snakes are sort of a fear phobia with me. lol.

I've never seen Serpent Belly Dancers before but it would be awesome. I love snakes. I actually have a five foot ball python. I have also held a few rather large pythons at zoos and such. And when I worked at the pet store we had an eight foot Boa Constrictor which I held and fed. She was a beauty.

We used to have a great rennasiance festival in our area, but, for some reason they stopped it. I really liked it, especially the jousting. I would have passed on the serpent show....ewww...snakes don't appeal to me one bit.

I could never done this. Impossible for me to have a snake on my back and all around my belly and I dancing peacefully. I guess the lady is very brave.

That sounds good fun, yes I have touched a 5 foot long boa, my hubby has one! It is a female one and she is gorgeous. I have never held her though as she is very powerful and I feel frightened that she may decide to strangle me, she loves my hubby you see so she may decide to do away with me LOL! I will put a pic on of the boa for you it is just a little bit blurry though.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Wow! must a sight but I'm really scared of snakes, my friend had boa constrictor in her house and I was so petrifide I wouldn't go any where near the glass cage and just then she open the cage and put her hands in it and stroke the snake, I moved closer to my friend and found myself stroking the snake she called Ruby but I'm still scared although the snake was soft and silky, she loves her snakes.
