Another, highly debatable, case ( King Cobras )

You never know what the possibility is, without experimentation. Just hope such practices don't get out of the lab and into hobbies, then we'll have trouble, big time.

That is why, Snakefin, the internet is dangerous and responsible herpers should think twice before divulging this kind of **** ( even if I agree that they are perfectly able to do that, given their level of expertise, in their own premises ).

Hi,these people give hobbysts a bad name and are bringing laws to ban exotic animals for serious keepers!

 

[Lepisosteus platyrhincus]

what seperates a hobbiest who know what hes doing then a scientist who knows what hes doing?

 

[snakefin]

What separates us from them? Fundamental reasons such as the purpose of collecting herp specimens. To herpers, they are in general, mainly for being part of a hobby. Scientists pick specimens up to carry out research or observations in a controlled environment.

did anyone else get kinda nervous when that cobra striked his fist and landed right in front of his leg??

 

[A. gigas]

I started by saying that it was a debatable issue ( this guy is not a moron like the other rattler self envenomator ).

This guy knows exactly what he is doing.

But, even so, I find the internet makes this type of practices doubly dangerous.

rule #1 of the internet:
if you film yourself doing something risky, you're bound to screw it up and end up all over youtube.

did anyone else get kinda nervous when that cobra striked his fist and landed right in front of his leg??

yep.
