Tips for with my first elapid
Title says it all. I’ve always had a passion for cobra’s but never really thought I’d truly make the jump from pit viper to elapid. The more I scope them out at shows though the more and more I’m coming to the realization that it’s probably going to happen sooner or later. Like everything else in life there’s no really no substitute for experience; but I’m doing everything I can to be as prepared as possible.
I’ve read all the care sheets and watched whatever videos I could find but can’t say I’m any closer to knowing what to truly expect in regards to their speed and handling. I’m hoping those of you with firsthand experience may be able to offer some additional tips or observations that may prove helpful.
I’d call myself a pretty quick study and a calm handler, but this is a pretty big jump for me and I want to do it right.
