Removing larger colubrids from enclosures.

With my adult female false water cobra I use a hook to pull her back end out then go ahead and grab her. She loves to hook around stuff in her cage when I really need to get her out or grab substrate with her tail to dump on the floor . I do feel like they recognize routine and I think the hook lessens the chance of a bite. She has never struck defensively but the feeding response is insane and violent, I wouldn't want to take a bite.

I was looking at those false water cobras. Like I'm sure many have I wondered if there was a nonvenomous cobra. I kind of like the things that look like they should be venomous for some reason. Not to make everyone think I have venomous snakes . More I think they just look so natural and interesting. Maybe from all those times I practically tripped over bullsnakes to have them "rattle" and went flying backward taking any dogs or nearby humans with me until we determined what it was.

Im afraid there are no non-venomous cobra's, the nearest is what you looked at the False Water Cobra

That was basically my point....
