I don't actually know of any reptile species that I am at all intimidated by, I love them all. I've always loved and been absolutely fascinated by reptiles which is why I went to school for herpetology and became a reptile breeder. I'm actually still in school I want to get a major in herpetology with a minor in chemistry and i'm going for my doctorate someday. I have albino burmese pythons, I have reticulated pythons, and I have different types of very large boas. I have several king cobras, three albino king cobras and I even have three inland taipans. I love all my snakes, even the inland taipans which are incredibly deadly at fifty times more venomous than a cobra. On a side note, believe it or not but cobras are one of the easiest snakes to tame. I handle all my kings and have never been bitten, and I swear a couple of them think they are corn snakes. As far as temperament is what I mean.
