I don't really put my hands on the vipers because I find them highly unpredictable, but if I have to I have the pin tool and tubes so that I can do it safely.

I just find I read my cobra really well, although he's a spitting cobra, he has never spit at me, and he rarely hoods, sometimes he does a partial but never a full hood.
Hopefully you're never in a situation where you'll ever need it, but do you have some sort of emergency plan if something were to go wrong or some antidote/anti-venom?

Venomous snakes are definitely the most interesting snakes in my opinion, but have always been curious how owners keep them and handle them. I enjoy my corn snakes sometimes over my big guys just cause how much easier they are to handle and interact with. Can't imagine my heart rate around a venomous snake lol.

But awesome collection and all the best to you and your snakes! Thanks for sharing, I think all of us would love to continue seeing more of your snakes.
