What of big snakes?

there are two kind of snake: venomous and non-venomous.

venomous are easier to handle, but their poison is fatal. in such case you must use a stick and try to put it in a bag or try to get your hand behind its head, just above the fangs, while using the stick to distract it.

the big snakes which you talk about are like pythons, etc. these are not poisonous and do not kill humans. however children must be careful. In my village, i have seen many rock python in the area. they generally go away and are slow. the only problem is that they are very heavy. sometimes, we even give it a baby goat. it is considered good to give offering to the animal. at the same time, the snake becomes lazy after eating the goat and falls as sleep. then all we have to do is to lift it and put it somwhere away srom the settlement in the bush. it will then not wake up for weeks.

Does this Calabash go by any special name?

@tomX:
In some parts of Nigeria, you are only allowed to walk into a room where someone died, backwards. This is supposed to give the spirits hovering in the room ample time to vanish (or something like that). Violators risk getting slapped by an angry spirit.

Funeral + Coronation In Idoma land, the king (Och'Idoma) is not meant to be mourned when he dies so his funeral is held at the sametime as his coronation.

In Anambra some masqurade do that when a strong herbalist dies.

Dear friend ...
Your post made ​​me think my somewhat off topic ...
I understand what you do with snakes, is part of the tradition, and has a background ecological, cultural and even religious.
Amazingly, the man really live in harmony with their environment ...
For Westerners it is very difficult to understand that if you kill all snakes upset the balance and the disaster may be greater ...
His speech is very interesting, going far beyond the anecdotal.
Thank you!

some guys take western culture seriously that they forgot we had culture b4 the coming of the white,such people make me sick,just becos we share their culture does not mean we abandon ours.that is why ours girls are walking around half nakedd,imagine that.my parents use to tell me about the good old days,where you donts see ur wife b4 the marriage and the marriage lasted and blossomed with love,but now what do we have? LOVE,that ruin peoples life,premature pregnancy,abortion.in those days they feared the conciquencies of every action they take for fear of reproach.i think christianity and islam should not have happened in nigeria,then we would have been stuck to our old values.
Development is not when girls go naked all in the name of fashion,politicians steal from the people they are sworn to protect.they say is a selected few that dress naked,but what about the corruption,stealing,looting,killing.
Our culture forbade fornication,stealing,but the white condone it,all in the name of development.
