I just like the idea of being able to hold a hooded cobra up and stare into it's eyes. Not that i'd do it. But I bet that's quite a rush. Staring death in the eyes.

well, if you were staring a venomoid in the eyes, it really wouldn't be death.

I like to pretend. Lmao. You never said what species of venomoids you own?

correct. there's so much controversy over the subject, i don't tell people what i have, because they don't know the circumstances. i would rather not have them but they can't be released into the wild and i won't dispose of them. i also live in a state that bans non-native venomous snakes, venomoids or not. i personally have nothing against the venomoid procedure. i have a problem with most of the people who want to buy venomoids, and their reasons for buying them.

I understand. Non natives are illegal in CA too. Fish and game threw a hissy fit over my FWC.

yh i would like to do that aswel and if i have no choice 1 day i would but luckily that would never happen and i would make sure that i know what im doing or have someone with me that does before doing so. (what i mean by have no choice is if 1 day im out camping in some country qand the snake came into camp or into the tents, but bare in mind that as a child, i was "hunting" and catching our native adders, no much i know but still, also i dont mean hunting as the usual find to kill meaning but finding and just grabbing up and looking at the markings as there pretty similar to the grass snake in markings).

Does that even make any sense?

are you referring to the scenario or the grammar? i would say neither make sense. i tried to following along but it was too difficult.

ilovemypets1988, can you please retype you post using correct spelling and grammar? thank you.

I would like to do that aswell, if i have no choice 1 day, i would (luckily though that would never happen) and i would make sure that i know what im doing or have someone with me that does before doing so. (what i mean by have no choice is if 1 day, im out camping in some country and the snake came into camp or into the tents.)

But bare in mind that as a child, i was "hunting" and catching our native adders, no much i know but still.
also i dont mean hunting as the usual `find and kill` meaning but finding and just getting hold of and looking at the markings as there pretty similar to the grass snake.

Sorry, I still don't get that bit!

Also, you weren't hunting adders at all, you were catching and releasing them. If you say that then there is no need to explain what your definition of hunting means

wait a minute..... first, thank you for retyping your post. second, why would you HAVE TO hold a venomous snake to your face if you were camping? wouldn't it be best to walk in the opposite direction of said snake? i should hope that nobody feels they HAVE TO hold a venomous snake to their face.

I think what was meant, is "I would like the training, so if I needed it one day I would have it."

yeah, i get that. i just don't know in what situation he would have to hold a cobra up to his face and stare eye to eye with it. that is what we were talking about. i'm all for educating about dealing with unexpected encounters with deadly reptiles, but i'm not sure you would ever be in a situation where you're forced to hold a cobra up to your face. that's the part that confuses me.

i didnt mean upto the face, i meant to eradicate possible danger, to pick up and release rather than what most do and kill the animal as all they see is the potential danger and not the fact that the problem can be solved if done correctly without any need to kill the animal
