I'm not touching this one.

If we have to explain it you wouldn't understand.

I could ask a similar question on say..Royal Pythons..as I dont personally understand the fuss but each to his own.

Having been asked by my DWA enforcement officer why I keep something I cannot handle I put this to him............can tropical fish keepers handle their prize animals???????????

Enough said??????

My dad had it explained to him today by Pete Blake.....(He started his mentoring in hots)
He now understands ...
He said it's like trying to compare keeping a Budgies and keeping hawks...They look similar but are totally different animals. Both are cool but one requires a different level of commitment....If you really want to know the answer ask Pete Blake if you can go along to one of his seminars

I understand that they are something to go on display, i nearly considered getting an emerald tree boa.
But its more about the risk of death of keeping the animals. I know that if the keeper is experienced then the chances of being bitten are low, but it happens to the best out there.
Gaboon vipers are one of my favourite snakes, i think they look amazing but i would never keep one and potentially endanger my own or others lives.

Just opinions here, no arguments

everything in life, endangers your life, just breathing does to an extent, sports like for example, skating, rock climbing, mountain bike, parachuting they are all dangerous but people do them, ita about minimising the risks.

well said,

for the blokes out there (and women) who like driving fast, pushing yourself and your machine to the limits, it answers its own question

to the op i think its a daft question tbh.

if you like to do something - take it to its limits, enjoy it and dont be stupid, simple

as above there is risk in everything, why not make it enjoyable yet challenging. just be aware of the risks

i personally wouldnt jump out of a plane at x thousand ft because if it goes wrong you have no chance lol, but if its allready on the ground you can go to hospital

I think that sums it up - "don't be stupid".

I don't mind what animals, even potentially dangerous ones, people keep as long as they have knowledge, commitment and the right attitude. What annoys me and makes me slap my forehead in fury is people who just want to show off or make themselves look big. It applies equally to the irresponsible owners of some dogs and irresponsible drivers of some vehicles!

How do you define a dangerous animal.... 20 people died last year because of horses....0 from snakes ....
