    A CORPORATE high-flyer has traded in her high heels and glitzy networking events to spend her days training giant alligators and handling some of America’s deadliest snakes. For years, Shannon Saurage, 42, worked in the executive world as part of an HR company where she dealt with 700 employees daily. Now she spends her days with her own 11ft, 550-pound gator named Mr Cuddles - training, feeding, and even kissing the beast at Gator Country, a reptile park and rescue centre in Beaumont, Texas. Shannon works alongside her husband Gary Saurage, who opened the park in 2005, and acts as the lead nuisance alligator hunter for the state of Texas.

      There are 3 main signs: First of all she grabs the snake by its tail and drags it along the floor, which you should never do when handling a snake, you are supposed to support their entire body when picking them up.
      Then there isthe obvious one of her having to actually wrestle with the snake to get it into the box. And last but not least there's the fact that the snake literally shits itself out of fear! If an animal does that while you are handling it, you are most certainly doing something very wrong.

      What gets me is that wild animals are always going to be wild….if you raise a tiger cub, treating it with trust and respect, sleeping with it and feeding it, there is a pretty darn good chance they will never hurt you, they might eat someone they don’t know but you can be it’s family, or pride or pack or whatever….but alligators and crocodiles….There is just something that makes me believe that they are hard wired to eat you and possibly (though unlikely) wonder a couple of days later where is that thing that brings me chicken nuggets. I know they are smarter than previously believed but its brain is still the size of a walnut most of it is going to be used for survival and caring for young…. It’s like trusting a spider not to bite you….

      A “bit naive”? She got into this at like 40 years of age. No prior experience. On top of that reptiles don’t have feelings. They’re not your friend. They know you’ll give them food that tastes good and until the food is coming they’ll be “well behaved” but doing this with alligators instead of animals in need that can’t survive on their own (like dogs) is such a waste of life.

      We have reptilian brain, so we relate to them in deep level, in some point in earth history they helped us survive to be here. That why human have fascination with animals. The reptilian was the beasts that came first to help prepare environment to human survive. There is billions of years of gaps, but the memories dont fade away.
      Another interesting thing, animals help human ground, it impossible having depression or mental illness dealing with animals, snake is symbol of healing, literally. There are some snakes that have kind chemistry in their poison that is able heal heart failure. People that enter in animals web, dont want leave it ever, it kind power holding them from going back to human affair. We human own them an huge gratitude, our physical/emotional system dont forget it. Everywhere in images out there, we see animals. They dominate the in virtual world. There is no scape of ignoring them. They are our roots.

    There are some really weird people in this country. She seems a little out of touch with the kind of animals she's handling. At least the man seemed more realistic about the danger. Hopefully no one gets hurt.

      Also never just manhandle a snake. My little saying is that if you poke a bear they’ll poke back and trust me when I say they’ve poked back
