maybe you can make your own since you got the specimen and prob make money out of it

no, I would need 100's of these guys to collect enough venom and I would need a whole heard of either sheep or horses and a lab to process the AV.
I wish it were as easy as collecting the venom though...

Looks like Naja kaouthia. From my experience with cobras, the albino will be noticeably more aggressive than the normal phase. Going from eyelash vipers to cobras is a huge leap.

yeah, they are a pair of monocled cobras, both het for sunset and the normal looking one is het albino. the albino female is actually much calmer than the normal male right now but I am sure that their personalities will change once they gain some size to them.

Elapids are a whole other ball game but I have been working with them for years (the first snake that I learned how to probe was a PNG taipan) so I am pretty used to their behaviors by now...

That is a Puff adder, not a taipan. But I have worked with those too.

and I have worked with all sorts of stuff. I am friends with some big importers/ wholesalers so I have access to quite a selection
