Does your insurance agent know?

I had a neighbor that I knew was in the exotic animal trade business. I always imagined a Bengal Tiger escaping from his house. It turned out he kept all the animals in a warehouse and nothing was poisonous or very dangerous since he sold wholesale to the major pet store chains.

Man, I can't imagine having to take them out to clean their cage.

I remember some national geographic guy stuck a camera on a cobra and it struck the lense. He cleaned it off with his finger and the venom on the lense damn near killed him.

CREEPY.

Honestly, it's a lot easier than tv makes it out to be.

When I take them out, 99% of the time they don't move, they just sit there.

The 1% chance would freak me out.

cool snakes. i used to breed pythons back in the day and had 6 large diamond backs on display when i worked at BPS. they were a trip to remove.

What is the one venomous snake that you want but don't have?

Fat girls are fascinating animals

Rinkhals cobra (Hemachatus haemachatus).

I've bend trying to get the striped version for years.

Cool thread. I think you are completely nuts but the pics are cool.

They are beautiful but so was my ex wife. I wouldn't want to have either one in the house with me.

jonk has 8 years of experience handling venomous snakes....I'll set the over/under at 10.

No Dendroaspis polylepis?

There is no way I would do this, Wouldn.t jump out out a airplane either. To each his own.

I am a firefighter, we had a fire a few years back where the owner had snakes lizards and scorpians in a room. Understand a BIG part of our job is customer service. we go out of our way to help out. after a fire we clean, help get personal belongings, anything to help the owners...
It was quite funny when the owner asked for help removing his "pets" the chief asked me why I was taking off my bunkers. I replied that HE needed them as there was no way in heel I was going near that room.
