When we stopped off at a local village in Punta Cana on our honeymoon, Laurie traded her sunglasses for the snakes with a 12 year old local boy. Apparently, they do not let you on a Plane to go back to the US with Snakes in your luggage. So.........Samuel Jackson a.k.a.. Neville Flynn was full of shit!
But seriously, some dude pulled up on a dirt bike with a bucket full of snakes, we gave him 5 bucks to throw them around our necks and snap a photo and he wheelied off into the sunset forever.....very romantic.
