it was a shame because he probably could have been saved if they had got him proper medical help

Well I'm gonna go Mamba speed venom, Tiapan speed venom, and BushMasters dut to there overall size and power.

I'm not saying I'll never keep these species but they are snakes I feel I need more exsperience before getting. Other than that I'm not to much worried about any other species is fair game to me.

Bless ya,
No matter how big you think your balls are and how much you think what you put in that above quote is correct i can promise you right now it's utter twaddle.

When actually faced with death, nobody wants to die. No matter what tripe they spouted 5 minutes previously.

I have been face to face with death (not with snakes) but other animals like Ostrich, Emu and raccoons... ive had broken bones, spilt skin... and i wasnt trying to sound "hard" or "cool"

But id rather be killed handling venomous snakes, than getting tagged, losing a limb, and never be able to handle snakes safely aver again

Nonsense!

With modern medical techniques and prosthetics, you could potentially lose both of your arms and still handle snakes.

I don't think many people would take death over losing a limb.

Paralysed from the neck down, however? Maybe. The loss of an arm or a leg, never!

i wouldn't rule anything out, before i started my mentoring i would never have wanted black mamba or a king cobra, but now, i can see myself owning both when the time is right
i am still unsure and a bit uneasy around the taipans but i suspect knowing my personality, i will probably want the challenge one day
