First off, the episode you were watching was probably the one they made about James Bear, happened right here in New Mexico..... and it was not a cobra bite, it was the bite from a canebreak.. As far as the allergy to venom, I dont personally know. As far as the show fatal attractions.... I hate it. They make everyone in this hobby seem like desperate, social off casts. They are working to get exotics taken away from us, all of them. Stick to nat-geo wild... info there is not always perfect but it is usually unbiased
