Re: A fitting article for recent forum turmoil
Oh look its lunch time.
Thanks OP!
Joking aside, thats a horrific bite. Every time I've seen pics or video of snake bites and what these people end up having to go through just to survive (poor girl in article still may not make it. very sad) it just makes me wonder what the attraction is to holding venomous snakes with bare hands (or at arms length for that matter).
I'm a very inexperienced keeper and never have had experience with any hots and while they intrigue me greatly, the thought of getting bit and having to endure something like this is absolutely enough make me certain that picking them up even once is not worth the risk.
Its one thing to think "oh this snake might kill me, ok i accept that risk." but its another when it happens and you have to begin experiencing the pain as each hour goes by and hours turn into days and weeks while you're forced to watch your leg turn black and wither away. No thanks. That said , I love watching hot keepers work with their snakes (responsibly anyways)
