    I'm even more surprised that he chopped their heads off being Nepali--snakes are symbols of Lord Shiva!

    Carang: Are you sure they were King Cobras rather than Chinese Cobras? If so, I'd pay to see one!

    Agreed! When there are snakes there are less rats. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you. If you see one just use a broom and brush them off.
