Rapmoney:
Have you ever seen people drinking local gin from a bottle containing snake before? It is common among the riverine people of Southern Nigeria, especially, the Ijaws and Urhobos. They call it snake wine.

People take it for different reasons. Some take it for protection against snake bite, while others take it with the belief that it prevents snakes from coming close to them or harming them.

HOW IT IS DONE: It is usually done with a live snake forced into a bottle. Dead snakes are not used. Then local gin is poured into the bottle. The strong nature of the gin kills the snake and the bottle is shaken vigorously with the snake inside. It is then served by pouring into glass cups for everyone to enjoy.

Farmsolution:
This is not true oga These are snakes soaked into different preservatives and chemical majorly for practicals purposes in schools and research centers . Which one is snake wine. Go to first generation schools and you will see them in their biology laboratories.

It's better to keep off or quiet when you're ignorant of what's being discussed, at least people will assume you have something meaningful to share.

The fact that you are ignorant of what He is saying, doesn't mean it is not meaningful.

The first time I saw snakes in jars like this was in our secondary school science lab decades ago. Some of the pictures in the post look like those lab containers.

Extremely rare & very strange indeed.
Snakes generally shy away from humans, unless you carelessly stumble upon it in the bush or its territory.

No, I've never drunk from a bottle with a snake in it and never will.

I was once offered tequila in Mexico City though, and was told the gold in it would make me goldy, and I failed to convince the foøl offering it that the gold colouring was either caramel coloring, sugar-based syrup, or oak extract added to unaged silver tequila.

What annoyed was being asked to pay above the odds for it, because it pretty much sounded like a babalawo asking for payment in advance for juju money instead of afterwards with the juju money.

I doubt I could be convinced a drink with a snake in it would immunize one to snake bites, but if anyone wants to prove me wrong ..........
