Please include photo credit or ownership info if you know it. Nice to know where these snakes come from. :)

Standard Royals are so underrated ... I sometimes think that if they didn’t exist and then somebody managed to breed a black and gold one ... we’d all go crazy :)

I have always been a fan of the OGs. Not to mention my high school and favorite NFL team colors are black and gold.

So...? did you come home with the 'food' or this handsome BP, or both? :D (I'm betting the latter...)

Dang Zinc! You've posted some awesome pics! Love the tentacled snake video too- almost like one tongue wasn't enough, lol. Somehow I missed it when you first posted it- luckily today's find got my attention. :D Especially those adorable garter snakes.

How on Earth am I just now finding out there are pure black cobras? I'm at least assuming this one is a black and white photo, their mouths aren't that dark of a color, right?

Yesssss, you BET they are! The person holding that one is "galactically stupid". :colbert:

Short version, & you can google Grace Olive Wiley for more info & lots of pics, but many years ago (1883-1948) a woman herpetologist (G.O.W.) made a lifelong habit of free-handling venomous snakes, including king cobras. She mostly got away with it, until a young & newly acquired cobra (that she considered safe to handle*) was able to get just enough of a hold on her finger to envenomate her & shortly thereafter (she put the snake in it's cage & was taken to the hospital) she died.

*Cobras are front-fanged snakes & need to get their mouth around something to envenomate; their fangs are not hinged as rattlesnake fangs are, nor are they as long, but we do know they're "long enough" to be a danger. Ms. Wiley had previously gotten away with holding her hands flat with the young cobras, so they'd strike but bounced off & were unable to get a hold...please don't tempt fate this way! It has been adequately been proven false. :rolleyes:

Don't try this at home...or anywhere else!!! :O

I've never kept hots but I've read that younger snakes especially hatchlings don't do a very good job controlling how much venom they inject either, so if they tag you you're getting a big boy dose. Not sure how true it is, but it was enough to keep me from messing with baby rattlesnakes when I was young.

The snake is really cool in the vid, but this makes me more nervous for the owner of the hand. Thanks for the info!

I've heard the same things, but how true it is, I'm not sure, so I wouldn't rely on that. What I AM sure of is that it's better we don't put that to the test.

Even a tiny amount of venom would NOT be fun! A tiny amount from a rattlesnake could be very painful (from tissue swelling & complications), land you in the hospital, cause loss of tissue (-got any that you wouldn't mind losing? ;) ), loss of function (!) and depending on the rattlesnake & the circumstances, might even kill you (some have more neurotoxic components than others). Just a tiny amount from a cobra can KILL you- their neurotoxic venom stops your breathing & heart muscles. There's no such thing as a good venomous bite, IMO.

Oh absolutely, I just meant I think some people think the babies are harmless or something so they can not respect them they same way they do an adult which is not the case obviously. I'll be staying a safe viewing distance away from anything that can rot my skin off if that's cool with everyone :)

The camera angle is neat. Would be cooler if it were on a track or body mounted for smoother movement.

Careless...risking life for a stupid video...not bright...perhaps unhinged with a death wish? BAD INFLUENCE. See "Grace Olive Wiley"- She was way before videos or even computers- & while I get where she was coming from, she aptly demonstrated her mistake by dying prematurely. She was lucky for many years (only getting some fingers damaged) but luck ran out when she was 65. She lived a long time before the odds caught up with her, but that doesn't mean anyone else will make it that long doing similar things. ;) I guess I'm too much into self-preservation?

Is this photoshopped or are there Blue ones ??

Please stop sharing the click bait stuff like the free handling of venomous. Only fuels the fire for those that want to ban the ownership of exotics entirely.

With the numerous legal battles we are already facing on top of Brian Barczyck and Jay Brewer sharing clickbait sensationalist videos about “dangerous and unpredictable wild animals” I can’t help but see people who portray themselves as ambassadors of reptile keeping driving the last nails into our damn coffin.

Please, for the sake of all that we love in this hobby/industry/lifestyle, stop all engagement and support of any and all of those that are doing wrong or irresponsible within our realm. I cannot stress this enough. Your very rights as keepers of these magnificent animals could be imperiled by the self absorbed egotistical mindset of individuals such as these.

We are in the golden age of reptile keeping and we are almost certain to see its simultaneous collapse as a result of the exposure we have let these clowns generate.
