Starting with venomous snake

[mykee]

"Seems like some rules need to be laid down about noobs, hypersensitive individuals, and cynics. From what I've seen in this short time that I've been subscribed, the people who are "harsh" are the most experienced, the people who are hypersensitive, PC, frantic and cursing haven't been around long. It's time to remember that we aren't just talking about noob mistakes with husbandry for the animal. This person could potentially lose their life. That makes people nervous, understandably. Hots are not domesticated animals, they never will be. It is a matter to be taken seriously. If someone gets a harsh but cool and logical reprimand, is that so bad?"

Nice! I'm going to Staples tomorrow and getting that emblazoned on a gaint rubber stamp in mirror image to that I can slap it forcefully on peoples foreheads when they say stoopid stuff.

how ever nice copper head vipers are, they are very dangerous animals if not respected, well its not so much the animal you have to respect, its respect for what they can do, as with most vipers, the venom will take hold within half an hour of being bit, usually needs between 6 - 10 vials of anti-venom and even after have a dose of anti-venom you can still die from anafelactic shock (soz but dont know how to spell it).

alot of people with "hots" have learned over time with constrictors and so on and they also get a mentor or someone who they relied on to show them how to handle sed snakes, and those who havnt learned from experienced people or even those who just go out and get "hots" end up seriously hurt or worst case dead from bites.

i can only comment on venomous snakes as i was lucky enough to see a proper handler do the job properly a few months ago and know that the difference between handling hots and constrictors are totally different and so is the techniques involved.

sorry about the long winded response and im sure this had been said before in this thread but id rather let it be known than not just incase.

This life is all about relationships. It’s about love – expecting love and giving love. It’s about our relationship with Tao, family, people, pets, nature Love is the best thing for the quality of mankind, but is the worst thing got attaining immortality – a lethal poison. Love is a major attachment.

What is your wisdom for giving and getting love? What is your need for giving and getting love? We hunger, we crave, we grieve, we hate. It’s all about love and need.

To deal with love we have the three treasures of the Tao: Conscience; Mercy; and Forgiveness.

Heal yourself to heal your relationships.

All who keep snakes, are in the life Game.
Celebrate diversity. Don’t force yourself into the game, celebrate the game. Don’t try to force others (Snake) to be like you. The more you push or persecute, the harder they kick back. Others will fight to protect their spirit. Softness overcomes hardness, mercy is water, water is soft. The unique character of Wu Dang is softness. Softness is the application of the Tao. Water can carry, flow, or flood. Celebrate different manifestations of the Tao.

Because he caught on to the fact that someone with absolutely no experience or concept of what they are getting into wants to buy a machine gun and will likely aim it backwards. The guy is clearly a flake.

Yes. A Garter can kill a grown man in less than three minutes.

You don't say? With no experience?
I'm opening a nuclear power plant the same day you open your snake farm, ok? We'll see if either of us makes it through the first day without killing ourselves.
