Rough Green Snake? LOL

[mk-ultra]

did it ever happened that a venomous snake was born without venom glands like a genetic problem ???

[Gregg M]

I am sure it has happend before....... In a wild situation the snake would not last long after its first shed......... I think it would be more like a freak accident rather than a genetic problem....... I dont think there are any documented cases but I guess anything can happen.........

[cobraman]

Martin, Stop on by, you will get your wish. It is not a smart thing to do, but not too many would vouch for my being so smart, and that would not be such a big feat.

Um Ray i'll vouch for you but who will vouch for me . by the way i think ive seen that snake someplace before, it is a chondropython right lol.

[Mason]

k, if that is indeed a green mamba, it must be a baby. Those things grow to almost 20 feet don't they?
What I like about mamba's is they are so thin, long and thin.

Anyone got a ball park figuire on a cost for one of those imports?

[BWSmith]

no offense, but if you think they get 20 feet, ya don't need one. Mambas are for VERY advanced hot keepers. They don't leave much room for error.

[Mason]

I don't want one. My nightmares are bad enough. I'm sure they could find a reason to charge me for murder when all my roomies, and the rest of the people on my floor are dead.

Green Mamba = Dendroaspis angusticeps
(just so I don't get yelled at for posting a pic) check;

I think that one at the above address could be about 12 to 15 feet depending on the cage size.
But research tell me 6 or 7 feet, and around $250 usd.

[cobraman]

They can't charge a dead man for murder!!! We sell them for $135 (to the qualified keepers).

[Mustangrde1]

And to think all this time I thought the King Cobra was the largest venomous reptile,,, Exit stage left...

[Mason]

you threatening me?

ha, jokes!

cha cha cha, BOOM.

venomated!
(scratch scratch scratch)
(yah so the king is the biggest, exit down it's throaght)

{don't be offended it is only my opinion}

[snake_goth]

Thank you Brian, you spared me on that one

[BWSmith]

I just didn't feel like retyping it all again ;) Prolly ought to give it a little bump every couple months since it is a topic that comes up often, particularly when we get new members.
