That is quite a shot, Charlie. He looks all cute and cuddly but I would certainly think it to be very unwise to try to scratch his belly. When I was in the hospital a week ago, I had a semi-private room for one night and they guy on the other side was watching a TV show about people who love keeping deadly snakes. I was forced to overhear the entire program so at least it was kind of interesting. Basically, those people are completely nuts. I heard them tell the story of one guy who has a bunch of cobras and one day one of them bit him. So, instead of seeking medical attention, the guy went out on his front porch for awhile to see if he developed any symptoms of snake venom. After a half hour nothing much had happened so he figured all was ok. Then, suddenly, he couldn't breathe and eventually he passed out. Fortunately, his next-door neighbor (who didn't know anything about the snakes) happened by to return something he had borrowed several months earlier and he found the unconscious guy on the floor and called 911. Problem was, nobody in the ER knew what had happened. I missed the part where they figured out it had to be a snake bite but returned to listening in as they told how the guy was completely paralyzed and on a ventilator while the docs feverishly tried to figure out which of his venomous snakes had bitten him. Finally, they did decide it was a cobra and they got him the anti-venom, which saved his life. Now, the guy tells the story of what it was like to slowly die of cobra poisoning but darned if he still doesn't still keep the things in his house. I guess it takes all kinds…
For me, the color version is so desaturated anyhow that I don't see that much difference between it and the B & W version. They are both wonderful!
Ll the best,
Endre
