Cobras as pets...

[TRD]

The amount of dedication and risks involved with venomous snakes is huge. Imagine stuck eye-cap on a 6' Forest Cobra. Good luck. Also to find a vet if you need one... and not to mention getting tagged in the face. Elapids are fantastic snakes, very alert, very fast (well, most). But you sure as hell need to know what you're doing or you're in a world of ****. The only Cobra that is somewhat calm, for as far as calm goes with that species, is the Water Cobra (N. annulata). Yet if it bites you, you need serious help.

ViperKeeper pulled off two 6-layer eye-caps off of a Cobra he received...just watched the video the other day. He went about it like it was nothing...ViperKeeper has some "big ones", that's for sure!
