I was a little bit worried as being an animal lover I didn&#8217;t want the Snake to be stressed in anyway so I set about reading up about keeping snakes warm, the signs of a stressed Snake and probably one of the most important things what to do if the Snake attacks. We had been reassured by the very experienced Snake handlers that &#8216;Hisss&#8217; would be very docile and relaxed and they would know if she was showing signs of stress and would remover her, even so I thought I better read up just in case!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4367 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lindsaywakelin.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/12\/08\/meeting-hisss-the-snake\/img_20171206_110248\/'><img width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lindsaywakelin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171206_110248.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Being a Boa Constrictor she doesn&#8217;t have venom but will have nasty inward angled sharp teeth to grip her prey as she constricts them to death (Cats are so nice in comparison!). I read if a Snake bites you can dip a Q-tip in rubbing alcohol and rub it along the gums of the snakes mouth they cannot stand the taste and will generally let go. Hmmm, the more I read the more concerned I started to be so I stopped reading and focused on planning the shoot.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-4367 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lindsaywakelin.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/12\/08\/meeting-hisss-the-snake\/img_20171206_093547\/'><img width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lindsaywakelin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_20171206_093547.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The shoot went brilliantly, I was wary at first when I asked the handler if she had eaten (the Snake) and he said she hadn&#8217;t! &#8220;and that&#8217;s okay?&#8221; I asked. After Matt had explained to me what her eating habits\u00a0were I could see that &#8216;Hisss&#8217; was indeed a very chilled out Snake, not that I know but she did seem very relaxed. I was encouraged to hold her, I hesitated at first but so glad I did, she was heavy, cold, smooth and I could hear her hiss which was a little unnerving but apparently all normal. The handlers were brilliant and the model loved Snakes so she was more than happy to have &#8216;Hisss&#8217; wrap around her body&#8230;in a good way of course!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this shoot was a bit different! &#8220;What about using a model and snake on a green screen I heard myself saying out loud?&#8221; Brain storming ideas with the creative director of a new local company who hasn&#8217;t launched it&#8217;s product we came up with a plan.
