Re: cobra question?
I learned by working at the Bronx zoo, a lot of people volunteer for zoo's or help other keepers so they learn how to handle the snakes with out getting bit. That being said, I have worked with them in controlled settings for medical reasons and general husbandry, I think they are beautiful animals who deserve a lot of respect. I personally don’t feel that they should be kept as pets (I don’t judge people who have them) they are a very dangerous animals and If you do get into make sure you are learning from people who know what they are doing.

Re: cobra question?
people who keep venomous snakes don't take them out to mess with them, you only take them out when you have to. i started off with rear fanged snakes and then worked up to the stuff like cobras. i wouldnt recommend a cobra as a first venomous snake. find someone near you that works with venomous snakes already they can show you how to handle them.

Re: cobra question?
When i got my first albino monocled cobra i watched videos and talked to some ppl to get the most i could. But you can never really learn form watching as its a diff situation facing the snake.
Experience and being cautions and NEVER USE HANDS EVER. I always had 2 hooks at all times and was never held for no reason but to clean the cage.
Their a species you admire but never forget they are dangerous. When ever i had to take my lil guy out i always had someone over encase something went wrong, which never did. Just keep in mind you can only learn so much, but first hand is your best friend
