I would advise your wife to spend as much time with her uncle as she can while he is still here.

Kindest regards

Cool pic, but I'm not sure if I think your wife's uncle is awesome or an idiot!
 
Lovely snake, great pic!

The flip side.

Good on him, Mambas are an often misunderstood Elapid.
 
Not by my former boss, a South African biologist who rated his experiences with them as more frightening than armed roadblocks and angry bull elephants!
 
Definitely can't dispute their reputation when annoyed as well as having a quick temper but have also known folks (an uncle being one) who has kept them for years without experiencing their bad side.

Regardless, I suppose its all down to the experience of the individual at the end of the day, I can only speak second hand :)

Yeah.....not to sure myself??? Funny thing is a while back I sent him some pics of my kids handling our snakes. One of which is a fair sized coastal. The reply I got was a very stern warning of how dangerous large snakes can be!!!
 
Me too!

I once had the opportunity to hook and tail a 3 meter plus female Black mamba and it was the only snake that I had handled that made every hair on my body was stand up!! The way they look at you, almost waiting for a mistake. Awesome animals!!
