(3,619 posts)I doubt Orange Julius Caesar would be willing to let a snake come close to him, much less provoke a bite.
Someone once shared a cartoon with me commenting on the very broad overlap between two things - awesome gifts for scientists and things supervillains want to do to James Bond. Lower me into a pit of snakes? Slow down a little - I want to identify them!
I suspect the Orange One's reaction would be less enthusiastic. Not comparing him with James Bond, who would react calmly with knowledge of what to do; rather, he'd behave like a toddler.
(And before anyone complains about this - yes, I know herpetophobia is a real thing. I could get my Dad to leave a room merely by bringing in a 12-inch-long garter snake, and he's the bravest human being I've ever met. I was expressing a desire to see the Count of Monte Crisco behave in an undignified manner on camera.)
