Thanks for the info
Hmmm maybe not so cute then !

Great set of photos, seems strange to see a baby hood up like that - cute but lethal.

Are they simple to get feeding?

Wicked pics
How do you go about "handling" them when they are so small, i would imagine a hook is out of the question? lol

tubes/trap boxes, bags or just block the little blighters off with the lid of the tub they are in (etc)

but yes, you are right in that most people wouldn't hook a snake that size. more for fear of harming the snake/not being in control than actually getting bitten.

The simplest method is to simply place a barrier betweent he snake and you so sectioned off vivs, persuade it into a trap box, tube, tub or similar or in the case of wee blighters like that if kept in a RUB or similar just pop the lid off and use the lid to block it off.

I use a hook for my ammo and shes tiny, but she sits on the hook nicely a cobra wou be a bit more hectic.

Ahh right that makes sence, wouldnt like that task myself, but they are just amazing creatures. Dunno if its the hood or the venom but cobras have some sort of hypnotysing effect (on me anyway) like running water or an open fire. could look at them for ages.

Congrats on the wee ones glidergirl

I have just started keeping snakes myself coping well with my corn, one day I would like one of those but that wont be for a very long time.

Saw these little blighters in the flesh at the weekend, the pictures don't do them justice.

Yeah I agree Ray, they are stunning little things, also the water cobra's Boulengirina sp I believe? were amazing.
