However......The law doesn't see it that way.....and refuseal to administer anti-venin would probably be a murder, if not man-slaughter charge.

Please stop.

I left it alone until now. That statement just shows how immature you really are. Someone like you really should never work with venomous reptiles. Because you are one of those guys that will just go ass faced into something without bothering to learn the right way to do things.
You say there is no skill? You have obviously never worked with a cobra before. Watching someone do it on t.v. makes it look a lot easier than it really is. Trust me.
No one deserves to die, regardless of what they did. I am a "reckless" handler and have been one for a loooong time. But I have also been working with these animals a looong time, and not just with captives. In my courses I teach the correct way of doing it, but each person is different. What I do works for me. So if I get bit I deserve to die?

You are pissing in a big pond of knowledge mate. Quit while you are ahead.

I've just stumbled across this thread and read just about everything, enjoyed what most of you have had to say, especially the personal stories lol

Just wanna say a few things, though.

ViperLover - Why, after numerous people telling you to start with a king, corn or royal, do you insist on going on about mangroves and FWCs as if you're looking to purchase one?

Although you say you know all these people, you've no actual personal experience with owning anything.

I'll be the first to admit I SH*T myself when I got my first bite, off a little corn snake. God knows what would have happened if it were anything more dangerous...... That bite was through inexperience and nievety as it was my first snake.

I'm not having a dig, as I'm sure you came on here with good intention, but you did come on looking for advice and you've been given it.
So take it. And please stop trying to argue with those who know what they're talking about, they are giving you sound, solid advice.

to be perfectly honest i think this is all a big wind up!

[stuartdouglas]

I'm getting that feeling too, that there's someone small out there with too little to do with their time.
