Close Call with a King Cobra

[millertime89]

I'm not saying training doesn't make a difference, I'm a proponent of a training and licensing system regarding hots, I just don't think the training and skill gap is as different between zoos and skilled private keepers who take their responsibility and the danger involved in keeping these animals lightly.

Furthermore, there are always those zoos that have terrible husbandry and animal control practices when it comes to reptiles. Some are outstanding and some not so much. I've been behind the scenes with curators of reptiles at several zoos that have impressed me, but there are also zoos that do a terrible job with their herps.

I personally keep no hots and have no desire to do so, just my reflection on the industry and the attitudes there-in.
