The Red Cross in Bangkok runs the world's second oldest snake farm. There, they raise and study all sorts of snakes, and extract venom to produce anti-venom for treatment for snake bites. They also put on a pretty good show for the public, which is a lot less sensational and tourist trappy than others I've seen. Watching the show, we learned that...

Pythons are big!

...as are King Cobras.

Cobras are bitey-er, though.
Thailand has a lot of other snakes, too. They come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and toxicities.
