it is dumb people like your brain dead mate that gives all us other reptile keepers a bad name.
I think first and foremost everyone here wishes the guy has a speedy recovery and no harm done. But once that is confirmed then we to ask the big questions not only of this guys actions but the circumstances of all bites to keepers. The reasoning is that as elapid keeping has high risks and mistakes can have a lasting impact on not just family and friends but can have a rippling affect to other keepers (similar to other high risk activities). I and I'm sure others feel that all it will take is for one keeper to die from his pet captives or/and the family to sue a wildlife agency and we will lose that legal avenue to keep elapids. Its this fear that has everyone so condemning.
he is well aware of the ramifications.
Your friend is an idiot who shouldn't be allowed to own something that's liable to kill him in a moment of stupidity he's already shown a great propensity for.
or from an evolutionary perspective, perhaps he should...
Check the age of this thread guys....

He's feelin a bit sore on the face and in the head. Plus also acheing around the chest... they had to restart him twice. Not sure if I'd be anywhere but in a hospital bed if it was me.
