Re: Close Call with a King Cobra
The attitude of "professional" keepers towards private keepers really bothers me. What makes you think that your training and "institutional history" makes you that much better? Many private keepers have learned from the best as well. I would be inclined to trust private keepers more than zoo keepers in some instances because of the lower number of venomous snakes they work with, the good ones don't get complacent because its not a chore. This obviously doesn't imply that all venomous keepers are like this but there are plenty of those that do. I don't know if the risks taken by private keepers is higher either. By some? Sure, but not all, not by a long shot.
