and getting tagged by an elapid or a python essentialy means the same thing (unless its a food response or something) its just that elapids will do a bit more damage

25-Apr-08, 10:11 PM
| | | | well the inlaws has tigers and they are more friendly than my pythons, and yes there is a risk that u might get bitten, but there is also a risk you are gonna get hit by a car crossin the road |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-08 Location: Adelaide Age/Gender: 15  | | | | yes but with a python u can let it out, to explore, do that with a ven what happens? What difference does it make if i am a first time owner, my opinion is the same. its not about the risk, theyre venomous that mite b a sign not to feep them in a cage |
