not nearly as much as you would think. Monocled cobras are pretty common as far as venomous goes.

Awesome cobra how much did that bad boy coast you???

Sadly, monocled cobra are inexpensive. I'm guessing around $75-$125 for babies. I really dislike that such dangerous animals can be acquired for next to nothing.

yep, $75 for the male het albino, $125 for the female albino.

and as it has been said several times on this forum before, amount of money does not equal amount of responsibility. I know some very wealthy people that are also very irresponsible and if they were into snakes then it would not matter how much the snake sold for... and on the other hand, I know some very broke people (myself included) that will take quite good care of them.

Regardless of how much they cost, there will be idiots keeping them.

I agree with that statement! Money doesnt equal brains!

didnt know (ahem) had a twin.:ROFL:some people know who i mean

Yet again this is the kind of unformed comments that scare the piss out of me. People think if u cant drop 2k on a dangerous or rare animal u cant take care of it. This is stupidity in its purest form. Its actaully quite entertaining. Im a married firefighter, and father. My wife does not have a job so we surrvive on my salary alone. I do not have the money to drop on a 2k animal. People wonder why it takes me so long with the caiman project. Its because i only got so much spending cash before the money is exclusivly for bills, and its not alot extra. Does that mean im gonna care for the animal worse? No it doesnt. In fact i can guarantee my caiman is gonna live better than prob 90 percent of other crocadillians sold. And many of those people will have more cash than me

Would you go ahead and please elaborate for those of us that have no idea what you are talking about?

First off, you seriously took my comment and went the wrong way with it. I in no way meant that only rich people are qualified to care for venomous snakes. I'm not rich and I have 40+ .

This doesn't really apply to Florida residence because their laws are much stricter than other states venomous laws. But at our venomous expos I have seen numerous inexperienced, meat-headed, douche-bags walk out the door with hots such cobras because they are relatively inexpensive and they want to impress their buddies buy owning a deadly snake. This is what really pisses me off because the vendors are just as irresponsible and just want to make a buck so they sell a deadly snake to a unqualified buyer, they get bit, and it ends up on the news and fuels the political parties trying to ban our hobby.

I was simply trying to state that if they weren't so inexpensive and easy to obtain, that these transactions wouldn't be as common and therefore less detrimental to the venomous community as a whole.

It really irritates me that you slander me thinking I have some type of God complex instead of asking me to elaborate.
 
y do u need to eleberate? what u said was quite straight forward. u wish they werent so cheap. pretty straight forward.

if thats not what u ment then word it differently. what u put means something diff than it appears u wanted it to mean.

didnt he just say that he wishes they were not so cheap so that any dummy couldnt buy one? I must have missed something.
