Prather’s Snake Show
Posted By thecircusblog on May 8, 2011
Norman Prather is shown holding his hands up in the celebrating his new snake show. I remember quite well the day. While Norman was cleaning out the snake pit, he got nailed by a python. It took Dad and several other men 30 minutes to get the snakes jaws opened from his arm. Siebrand Bros 1953.

Thanks for the great Siebrand Bros. pictures. I remember reading about the show in Billboard and Amusement Business as a kid, but never had the chance to see it.
