the whole of affrica, kids encluded, are fully aware of the MAMBAS threat to them, and if im honest they probably look in the room and think "look at the nutter" so i dont think there will loads of kids in affrica running round with spray bottles trying to find a mamba.

i cant see what bearing this is having on reptile keeping as a hobby, he is not keeping them, they are not licensed to his address and he is not claiming them to be pets.

glider girl, sorry if i took your comments the wrong way. i personaly will never be keeping venemous snakes as im a little clumsy and forgetful, plus i know my luck if you know what i mean.

i know if he was to get tagged he would defo need hospital treatment, but a dose of anti venom straight away could make the difference between life and death, after all its a race against time in these situations.

everyone is going on about his actions in public, but be honest how many of us knew about it before we see this thread? plus the fact that he did not post the pictures up. (not digging at anyone there, just making a point)

the fact is that this guy is trying to do some good, and weather or not some of his actions are a bit rash, dangerous, stupid we must all atleast give the guy credit for trying to do some good in this world. there are too many of us that will sit here and cus the guy all day, but what have any of us done to make a difference?

Kids worldwide know that jumping of high places into shallow water is dangerous, but they still do it! Therefore I would suggest showing kids a dangerous snake drinking out of your hands, and making it look ‘cool’ is very unwise - others appear to have a different view…..

so tell me how many Kids do you know that can access a venemous snake?

do you honestly believe that kids in affrica will now start to try and give a drink to venemous snakes?

to be honest i think you just dont like the fact that someone is doing something and getting reconised for it. if you hate what he is doing so much, why do you keep checking the thread, especially if everyone elses opinion is wrong?

every time a reply has been posted to ya you keep avoiding the points in it and come back with the sam old bla bla bla,.

Clearly you support irresponsible actions, that’s fine your prerogative to do so …. personally I don’t . Most of my time is spent working with government national and international, convincing them that reptiles keepers are, be enlarge, a responsible bunch. Obviously some keepers are not responsible and it is the buffoons that give everyone else a poor reputation.

tell you work for the government, always avoiding questions!
i say again, he is NOT KEEPING the reptiles!
this has NOTHING to do with keeping reptiles as pets!
just because we are not condeming the man does not make us irresponsible keepers, all my reps are kept well, looked after and fed well so just because i will not join you in the linching does not make me a irresponsible keeper. its not like we are telling every one that keeps HOTs to start hand watering is it.
most of the people that give us bad names are the people that needlessly live feed and post the vids on you tube, or twats like MUFFDADDY2 that spend all day giving out bad and incorrect advise.

you cant brand us this and thats because your views are not the same as ours, how would you like it if we branded you a pude or a do gooder because of your views

sorry were does it say he owns the zoo?

in any case he is not keeping them in the sense you are implying is he.

i think you should read the first post in this thread, it explains to not try this at home and that its dangerous.

your still missing bits out and only answering what suits you, cant have a fair debate that way really can you. i think the problem is all your rants are bassed on personal opinion and not true life facts. yes a mamba being hand watered is dangerous, but i doubt it will lead to people running around trying it for the selfs.

As I said before you quite clearly condone such activities, which is entirely your prerogative to do. Notwithstanding this I hope others would show more sense…..
