I highly recommend ALL potential and existing venomous keepers to look closely at the photos on that link, they are very very graphic but will bring home just how bad a bite could be. It's very easy to become complacent or too relaxed with venomous, espesically if you have never come close to being bitten.

But i suppose if you keep venomous its a risk you take, you can try and reduce the risk as much as possible but its still their. I would still love to keep cobras i just find them intresting, its not ooo its venomous so i want it. I think they are very pretty and amazing snakes.

Poor lad though his was totally accident.

I kept 4 kaouthia (monacled cobras), 2 albinos,1 chocolate brown and a baby....had them 6 months before I decided they were just a little too risky to work with, very clever snakes....I had the feeling that they were just waiting for the right moment to try and bite....leading me into a false sense of security Shocked

They are now on display at a zoo.

Very sobering indeed.

Scott , I know zylch about "Hots" but I have heard and read and seen on the box, theories to back up what you say about the cobra`s intelligence. I seem to remember O`sheas programme on the King Cobra going into some detail about thei intelligence or "awareness".

Having kept them, how "clever" would you say that they are? I find it fascinating, the intelligence debate.
