we own monocles and I just had a daughter shes two weeks old now and if she grew up and knew how to properly handle cobras I would be one of the proudest parents out there. Accidents can happen but they dont always happen. Keeping venomous really is no different then keeping nonvenomous as long as you have common sense and a healthy respect of the animal. When you take shortcuts or push your limits so to speak the animal will then put you back in line.
