I'm not saying you, but we do have kids on this website that live with their parents and if they tried this because they seen it and thought it would be cool and got bit, that infact does put a mark on the hobby. Especially if the parents don't like snakes in the first place. Also they have kids that read these forums, my 8 year old nephew browses these forums occasionally. That's what I meant by a bad judgement call, now what you do behind closed doors is all on you.
I want to handle a cobra with my bare hands, but if I ever did, you won't see me posting about it. You just have to think about some stuff before you post because of the nature of the website.
