Some of my venomous snakes

I much prefer bagging cobras to most Aussie elapids
You can stir them up to get them going
But most of the time they are pretty easy to bag
Best part is they cant tag you from any direction like tigers etc
Small ones go off a lot more than adults

Yeah, cobras are pretty straight forward if you know what you're doing. From an outsiders view they look menacing because of their posture etc!

Great pics mate, love green vipers, if we could keep exotics it would add green viper or a sidewinder.....
Keep the great pics coming

Thanks! The white lips are nice, but rattlesnakes are my favourite by far. Going to try and accumulate as many species as I possibly can over the next couple of years. A few are protected however and aren't already in captivity which is a shame!

Ooops Haha, Just out of curiousness, What is the Cobra like? I've seen Viperkeepers videos and they are absolutely energy packed and Crazy. :?

They can be fast, and flip out quite a bit. But generally calm down as they get older, my little girl at the moment is a nut case but only if you provoke her. She will rather try and get away to hide. She's come after me a few times which is quite endearing.

Depends on the snake to be honest though, some are crazy, some wont ever hood. But on the whole if you know what you're doing cobras aren't that hard, apart from a few species which can be more challenging.

Love the way the Gaboon eats, keeping the prey off the ground.
This natural feeding habit must come in handy in a captive environment, keeping wet rodents off the substraits.
Also I think N. siamensis is my favourite of all the spitters
Nice pics Crotalid.

Exactly! It's a big help lol. It's probably my favourite spitter too, although I do really like samarensis also!

Thanks!

Young fella I find your lies rude, there are no cobras at C.T. Zoo.

Agree there are no exotics there to the best of my knowledge. The only snake I could think of that could be mistaken as a cobra is a red belly black snake because they have fat necks sort of but you would still have to squint pretty hard. Lol

Beautiful snakes by the way OP. I hope to see more of them in the future.

Have a mate with N Sumateras
Although Im not that fond of any spitters his are jet black all over and pretty stunning

 

[Wrightpython]

Would you like to enlighten me then at what I have seen for the past 3 months?

Most likely tiger snakes as they will often flatten there necks and to the non herps can get mistaken.

To be honest mate, give me any cobra and il be happy lol. Not really sure what my favourite one is, I quite the the sumatrana too. I like the beige coloured ones Viperkeeper has, they have a mad attitude though - make mine look like a corn snake!

Crotalid, do you have to option to keep Hemachatus at all in the UK?

 

[Dreaper]

Thanks, what do you mean by patience?

well trying to get my pythons out for a clean and trying really hard not to get bitten, i lose patience especially with the younger ones and just take the bite, eventually they learn that in not going to hurt them and stop but from what i know doing that with venomous snakes shortens your life expectancy a little

 

[Grogshla]

Holy Moly.
Scary but very cool Snakeys. Thanks for sharing mate

Yeah for sure, I'm the same but with non venomous. I've only ever kept hots.
