That has to be some of the most dangerous and irresponsible mamba handling I have ever seen in my life. If DWA keepers over here did that they would lose their licences and get crucified on forums like this.

You idiot! i am truely gobsmacked at this video......i am actually lost for words.

It bad enough letting a Green Mamba escape in the 1st place but fkin hell. who in their right mind would turn their back on an escaped mamba? you seem more interested in the fact you have a crap viv!!

I cant believe how lucky you are, you take nearly getting tagged as a joke thru your poor handling. How much longer do you think your luck will run for? but knowing your sort, it wont be you that gets tagged from an escapee, it will be some innocent person in public.

You give proper venomous keepers a bad name. Keep your **** videos on US forums and stop inflicting them on proper keepers of reptiles!!!

.....and to film it all like its something to be proud of, what goes on in your mind?

Al you have some wonderful animals you really do. but i do have a few criticisms and bearing in mind i have worked with venomous animals, but not to the extent that you have (i dont personally keep anything other than rear fanged and the occasional native Viper) so obviously its up to you if you take what i say on board..... but recently you posted a video titled 'hooks not hands' with reference to opening cage doors.... good times.

seems you were extremely close to that door and used your hand... bad times.

Also I think its great that you document your dealings with your animals, its like a video autobiography. but i personally would invest in a tripod or at the very least have someone else film you. especially when dealing with elapids (i'd prefer 2 hands ). if you get a kiss of one of those prettys.... and lose an arm... you'll need to invest in a tripod anyway.

Not having a go, just constructive criticism.

I think theres some pretty harsh critism in this thread, saying "you deserve to get bitten" and to keep your videos US forums, is not constructive, I for one like to watch your videos and I know alot of people do so please dont stop posting them here, your videos on youtube are a refreshing break from most of the idiots with hots posting videos.

One video that people think is not up to standard of keeping (and im not going to comment because I dont think you could base a complete opinion on what happened from that video) should not overshadow all the good videos you have made.

If this video isnt a prime example of the above, i dont know what is. And when it comes to venomous handling, yes you can sum up someone one one video. It wasnt a moment of stupidity, it was 17 effing minutes of it! and thats what he has allowed us to see. I dread to think what he gets up to when the camera is off........The bloke is clearly a loon!
