The Shelby Thread :)

[Will0W783]

Wow, KD, that's a beautiful red spitter...with a lot of venom! Of course I don't mind you putting up pictures- I love seeing cobras of all kinds all the time. They have always fascinated me.

Shelby is odd with his attitude displays- he's a vile little turd when in his cage- hissing, dancing, lunging, and generally raising himself up as high as he can. He's gotten a third of his body standing straight up! But when I hook him to put him in the holding bin, he immediately chills out and acts simply curious and excited to be moving. I'd almost be more comfortable if he was vile on the hook, because I can predict that....but he's almost preternaturally calm on the hook and has never actually tried to bite me.....I'm waiting for it. I'm sure the day will come when he decides to rage on the hook.
