Not without some trepidation, mind you. Well, the snakes are not in cages exactly, but duly contained in clear plastic storage boxes. Duly contained, that is, until Gayle Allen lets them loose. What happens next could be the stuff of a horror movie.

Coiling around young necks. Weaving through fingers. And instead of frightening, Allen's snakes seem pretty darn fascinating. They slither and shed their skin and smell with their tongues. They don't have any arms or legs, and they never blink.
