Najakeeper, that cobra is beautiful!!!

Really, thank you all for the replies. I too am fascinated by the hots. While I'm fascinated by them, and definitely respect them, I understand they just aren't for me. I will continue to watch and be amazed and in awe of them. It's funny to hear you when you say, the less venomous like copperheads. Growing up here in Pennsylvania, for as long as I can remember, that's been said to be "the deadliest snake there is".... well, I guess for around here, that's true. Now, after learning more about snakes, I know it can be a whole lot worse than a copperhead bite.

Thank you all for sharing. Now I'm going to have to go look at some more bush viper pictures. LOL
