New snake!
Hi evereyone,
I've been to Snake Day in Houten today and had a great day.
Got to meet and conversate with Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry and Nigel Marven!
Yes, i also made some pictures that i'll share soon.
But i also got a new snake, a snake that i've been wanting for quite a while; the Naja melanoleuca or forest cobra.
I haven't got a name for her yet (CB 2014 female) but i'll come up with something soon!
Down below a picture of her, made by my friend Michiel Meesters.
Very nice specimen, and still is quite calm for a forest cobra..
I know that it won't always be like that, in fact i think this was my lucky day!
Can't wait to share more with you all.
- VH

Re: New snake!
She is beautiful. I love how they look when they are hooded up  However, I don't think I could handle a venomous species like that.:/ Congrats on the new addition.
I think a nice name for her would be Splenda (those lips look especially sweetXD)

Thanks!
I'll also take that name in consideration, her lips do look sweet!
Only hope they never will make contact with my skin

Re: New snake!
I love Forest Cobras. So much potency and unpredictability just makes them the ultimate hot. They are beautiful ontop of all that. Even if we were allowed to keep exotic venomous here in Arizona, I couldn't see myself being confident enough to keep one without at least 5 years of venomous experience. Definitely a top 2-3 snake in regards to skills needed to keep.
Awesome addition and great photo!

They can be more then a handful! Very smart snakes that can literally chase you around your room.. I've been wanting this snake for a while, but i've heard stories that made me think twice about it.
At the end if the day i still got her because they are just stunning snakes and i know that i'm able to keep them, and will work with her as safe as possible!
Thanks D!

Re: New snake!
I am fortunate that here in South Africa where I live, they are endemic.
I was called out on a capture about a year ago, and it was a stunning Forest Cobra of just on 1.8 metres, almost 6 foot.
Very intelligent snake and advanced on me 3 or 4 times before I got him pinned. They definitely go on an intimidation mindset when cornered.
Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy.
