Man, I know absolutely nothing next to Chris and Lep and Coura and Miguel and everyone here, but it took me about 30 seconds of reading to realize that you have no business keeping these animals. You can't possibly think that you can tail a baby Cobra, which is quick, agressive, and being small, has about a foot until it's on your arm, while balancing a camera in the other. Next thing ya know, you're cold and stiff on the kitchen floor and there's a Cobra on the loose in your building. The term "Hot Snake" refers to the fact that you don't touch a hot stove or engine block, and you don't touch a Hot Snake. It's not a Corn Snake that you can just put in your lap and cuddle with, although I think maybe you'd be better off keeping Corn Snakes. I'd really like to know what the dealer that sold you these animals would think if he read this thread. He isn't doing anything but hurting the industry by selling Hots to incompetent keepers.

That's it. You're gonna end up dead at this pace if you keep it up. Where did you get this idea that baby Cobras don't envenomate? I always heard that baby Hots are more dangerous because they can't control their venom yield, so you get a load of venom, and therefore are in greater danger. Well whatever, see you on Animal Planet "Fatal Attractions".

If you decide to have some proper training with a real Snake expert, afterwards take a 5th grade English class so we can read your posts.

No that is still wrong... I don't think you understand, you shouldn't tail a cobra. It doesn't matter where you live it is still not a good idea. Keeping Hots is a risk, you could end up getting yourself hurt or killed. But tailing a cobra raises that chance by a lot. If you keep Hots try and do it in a safer way. You can hurt yourself, the snakes, and the hobby.

Sorry for insulting you other guys!

all i was doing is putting a few pics for you all to see as i thort you"ed like!
 
allright, no worries:)

We all worry, on the other hand, about you possibly getting tagged.

So be carefull. Really, do not tail them. A bad done tailing, giving the tip of the tail the possibility of gaining leverage in your hand, is enough to make things go down the drain in seconds......

And your Gabies are also very dangerous snakes, as I am sure you know. I have seen them flopping backwards in a millisecond and biting.....

Ah yes, of course, I hate because I'm an ignorant American. Excuse me while I go start my John Dere with my pocket knife and go out in the pastures to mend the fences, and when I return I'm gonna milk Bessie, then change the oil in my Trans Am, right after I get my mullet trimmed.

No, I hate you because you are endangering my hobby, not to mention the people around you.



And no I don't have a Hot permit, I'm freakin' 15 years old, even though I'd probably be more responsible with it than you are.
 
Sorry bud, don't mean to flame, but hots are like grizzly bears. In theory, you can grab it's tail, and if it's a young one you've got a 70% chance of life. The other 30%, there's a good chance you might, well, die.
 
I just kinda get fired up when I see people doing stupid stuff that threatens my hobby.

Here in New York city, Boas and Pythons are illegal to buy, sell, or breed, Ferrets, Varanids, Tegus, and Iguanas are totally illegal to own whatsoever, Piranhas are impossible-to-get-permit only, Sugar Gliders and a few other small mammals are illegal, and I'm sure there are more bans to come, because of people being ignorant and stupid. There are definetaly people out there that are qualified to keep Hots, hell, there are a few on this forum, and it would be a damn shame for them to lose their hobby and their passion because some idiot goes and gets tagged while playing chicken with a Cobra in his kitchen.
 
i was"nt playing chicken with the cobra mate! id just got back with them after buying them! was just checking them out my friend!

and if i was"nt qualified my friend! id never get a dwa licence to buy them would i my friend!
