you are not allow to keep snake as pet in local, so you can't find them in any pet shops.

there are few ways you can try;

you can visit some small Chinese temples, they may have some snakes kept there, ask them can you borrow their snakes for a day or two.

or you can hang out areas like Mandai reservoir, you might able to catch a snake or two.

alternative, you can use eel instead, which you can buy from Chinatown market easily.

last resort, you can buy the rubble snakes from Toy "R" us, if the models are afraid of snakes.

hope this help.
 

head outback and catch a few death adders
 

I think besides the snake, you'll need a pro snake handler to help you "pose" the snake.
It's a huge undertaking. I hope can take a peek at the result.

WHat kind of snake?

How long?

What is your purpose?

You should go to snakereview.com to view the specifications before you make the decision on what snake you want to buy. Please be more specific in your request. Snakereview.com has a compare snake tool. :bsmilie:
 

go to a few of the tourist attractions in town like sentosa Imbiah Lookout
there are a few snake charmers complete with baskets of snakes soliciting for photos with snakes from visitors all day long
work out a deal with them
 

Did you lose your snake ? :bsmilie:
 

Actually there r snake charmers in SG. I recently saw one with a snake in a basket next to the raffles statue.
 

it's dangerous to work with snakes. you don't know if they are tame enough.. one bite and that's it if you are not careful.
That would depend on the snake. Not all are venomous and once they had a good meal they prefer to rest. But the bulge might not look appealing :bsmilie:
 

Go to Hong Kong, look for Snake King

see video - David Hobby "The Strobist" in Hong Kong
