Where they 'milk' the snake by getting him to release some venom into a glass.

Oh, by the way, snakes are cannibals (as we learned when this guy suddenly decided to eat another guy in his cage.)

Room-mate wanted to share a clean, quiet cage with a friendly King Cobra. Non-smoker preferred, must be 3-4 meters long and tasty.
