I'm not overly sure on the age thing, but I think at about 25 you understand responsibility more and hopefully you're past the stage of trying to impress your mates! I think it's down to the individual person, but each applicant can't be interviewed and 'sussed' out, I'm NOT saying all of the younger hopefuls are the same but I just think 25 is more of a responsible age. But that's a personal thing.

I really dont see any useful or informative data for this 'research'. You've completely put yourself in total unnecessary danger for seemingly no good reason at all.

I dont even see a point to it! What were you going to prove even if you thought they had 'mellowed' out? It doesn't make the snake any less venomous, nor does it make them any more predictable, Ive been bitten by 2 of my 'normal' collection without any warning what so ever, not one sign.

Madness and stupidity.

Very interesting...You nutter...LOL. I've wondered about how calm a venomous would become over time..... Now I know....... Do you think the more CB that goes on, that eventually somewhere down the line that they could become calmer...... Though it still doesn't make it less venomous, so you'd still be in trouble if it decided to nip you.....
I got Bredli pythons... So mellow, and easy to handle......My male bit me a week ago, I wasn't expecting that...

depends who you are as you mention. for me mates and snakes are a seperate entity and always will be. they have come and seen the boa's, and handled some, but they dont even know i have rear fanged stuff. its not all the same for everyone.

I think you should search for a guy call cobra man. He some how has immunized him self against cobra venom, so he say's. but then check out the pictures of the of him after being complacent with vipers and rattlers.

And even though he free handles his cobras, he gets bitten.
Science done, lessons learned
Honestly its not worth it. for your own health or for the stress you could put the ones who care for you through.

Even though I really went to get some venomous snakes. I would do everything I can not to get them out. or have any contact.
I'm even thinking of every way around changing their water bowls so I don't have to open the viv's up.
I just recon its better safe than very very sorry.

Keep Safe!!!!!

Ray claims to never of been bitten whilst freehandling, and the pics from his cobra bites are still very unpleasent. So hes not immune, he has built up a tolerance and a certain level of resistance but not immunity.

Thats never going to work out..... You need to build the confidence to be able to do what you want, when you want....Otherwise the animal could suffer, they need checking over the same as any other snake......
