That channel will cover snakes, crocodiles and other dangerous game, and dangerous inverts.

The rinkhals clip is great.. I definitely think that you have to have the Afrikaans accent to say Rinkhals and make it sound right!

Great habitat footage also.

just an aside; when you had the snake in hand was it potentially able to 'spit', as it had it's mouth open or
were you not at risk because the muscles over the venom gland had already been 'depressed' by your fingers leaving the snake no chance of generating enough pressure to 'spit'?

Im looking at this from a purely physical perspective

cheers,
Rob

Rinkhals don't really spit, they sling it. Which is why they need to rear up to do so.
There is a little bit of venom ejection, but not like a Mozambique Spitter for example.

[RMG]

would you think then that a Mozambique spitter or any of the other Naja spitters would be able to spit from a similar hold or not?

[mad martin]

They can and do. Not quite as effective as when it is unrestrained, but certainly enough to reach from hand to eye

[RMG]

thanks Martin
