Mmmm, nice snakes. Dont know whats more dangerous, free handling vens or letting your dragons drive? :wink:
I'm sure alot of people free handle elapids in the privacy of their homes. Perhaps it is best kept private, I dont know? I appreciate the pics and they do well to show elapids as the peace loving animals I believe them to be. But......my concern is not for you, rather "our" hobby. I'm sure most herpers understand the potential of negative press that would be generated toward herpetoculture if one of our own were to suffer a serious bite. If this has been considered, and you still decide to free handle, then so be it. We live in a "freeish" community and part of that is to take the good with the bad.
I see a place in our hobby for vens, but those who keep them are in a position of trust, as their actions can have an effect on us all.
I think you were after peoples opinions, so I gave mine.
