Quote HistoryQuoted: Apparently it's not uncommon in the remote parts of India for villagers to keep one in their house for vermin control. I've had "hot" snakes and relocated 12 from my property and my neighbors property this year, but I never trust them and these days I use tongs and a snake hook as I don't know how venom and 6 heart stents would work out... Cripes. I'd step on big snek trying to take a piss in the middle of the night and draining the main vein would take a back seat to draining the venom. Screw that ridiculous horseshit. Get a friggin Bengal tiger to control the vermin. At least he'd feel warm and fuzzy before causing your death. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They are very intelligent snakes. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Houston zoo had a 16’ King years ago. I’m the kind of guy that knows about snakes but doesn’t keep them or unnecessarily handle them. I think most snakes are amazing critters. That King Cobra at the zoo was one of the most evil looking animals I’ve ever seen. I would have killed it if I saw it in the wild. They are very intelligent snakes. I don’t doubt you at all. That evil fucker wanted to kill me as well. Most snakes have a kind of beauty to them. Cobras and Mambas are ugly evil fuckers. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, it's really messed up. If you want to show affection to a bird you pet the beak and neck. Stroking the head down the back is mating behavior. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Chandler at least uses his animals for education, he's heavily invested in his conservation center. Guys like Tyler Nolan that only keep them as pets get a lot less respect. Nolan's pet bird macaw is especially bad. He managed to make her sexually attracted to him through not knowing how to keep her, then was pissed at his neighbors for complaining when the bird was howling all day long. A bird is sexually attracted to a human? Dafuck?  Yeah, it's really messed up. If you want to show affection to a bird you pet the beak and neck. Stroking the head down the back is mating behavior. He stuck it’s head into a sock drawer?  That’s fucking disgusting. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I can't recall how long it is, it's 10+ feet. I didn't want to shit talk it and say its 28' but it's a big snake. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 10 feet would be small for an adult king. 13 is common, and the record was almost 19. I can't recall how long it is, it's 10+ feet. I didn't want to shit talk it and say its 28' but it's a big snake. No worries, just pointing out that 10 feet would be a very common size-but still an impressive animal, especially considering they're deadly at just over a foot.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not even in the same league. Bill saved a shitload of lives. Both by helping make antivenom, and in at least 2 cases by BEING antivenom. Transfusions of his blood were used when they couldn't get antivenom. He also inocculated himself with venom. Injected himself for many years with diluted venom to build immunity. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: That guy is a moron, and when he gets bitten, ZFG @azjeeper Chandler is actually highly respected in the venomous keeping world. So was Bill Haast, the current Guinness Book of World Record Holder "for surviving the most deadly snake bites" Not even in the same league. Bill saved a shitload of lives. Both by helping make antivenom, and in at least 2 cases by BEING antivenom. Transfusions of his blood were used when they couldn't get antivenom. He also inocculated himself with venom. Injected himself for many years with diluted venom to build immunity. He placed a very large Anaconda around my neck and my mother about passed out. |

Familiar with most well-known hot sneks, but the banded kraits had escaped my notice until now. Some purday colors. The yellow/blue, yellow/black are my favorites. And that triangular body cross section is badass.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My brother in law wants a "hot" snake in the worst way. He already has a spider that he can't handle and one of snakes while non venomous is a bitey asshole. And they are illegal And he has kids But he wants him a rattlesnake or similar. Did I mention my brother in law is an idiot? I have had lots of snakes over the years. The only hot I had was a timber rattlesnake I bought from the pet store in college. Couldnt pick it up and it basically just sat there so it was fairly boring. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Same, I've seen some monsters in south Georgia but nothing like that hybrid exists in nature fortunately. Cross breeding species that would not interbreed on their own is messing with nature IMO and serves little purpose. Did you miss the part about him saying that they are actually naturally cross breeding in that area and that biologists are actively tracking several currently? |

I read an article once where a guy had multiple King Cobra’s together in a large enclosure. He noticed that whenever he entered the enclosure that the cobras would work together to attempt to surround him and block his exit from the enclosure, then they would start closing in on him. He swore the King Cobras were way smarter than most people thought.

He swore the King Cobras were way smarter than most people thought. I knew a guy who kept a lot of exotic hots. He had a room dedicated to receiving and opening boxes, only a table in the center of the room. He was opening a box that contained a large King Cobra. The snake was supposed to be double bagged, the box inside another box. As he was opening the box, the snake emerged. It had gotten out of the bag, it was not double bagged or double boxed. Anyhow, he said the snake immediately got between him and the door and reared up, large enough that it was just about looking him in the eye. He said it took him a good 45 minutes to be able to get to the door. Quoted: @azjeeper I believe he said his was a hybrid between a canebrake and eastern diamondback Thanks! |

They yield of course, is tremendous. |
