Re: The Shelby Thread :)

Do you have to be careful when cleaning the venom up? Or is it only dangerous when injected or on mucous membranes? Are latex gloves sufficient?

A cobra spitting its venom adds a whole new dimension to venomous snake keeping. Something nothing in herpetoculture can prepare someone for... good logic, routine and responsibility can not be forgotten. Venom should never be in contact with you as a person for any more amount of time then it should take you to wash it off. Venom can seep its way down into pores find its way into the smallest of cuts/abrasions. Latex gloves work well, prompt and proper disposal is very important.
