good eye. not the fangs but the venom glands were surgically removed. so if they bite, they can still leave a nice wound. he had some scars to show. in fact, the keeper was tagged by an Albino Monocle Cobra. as he told it, Cobras don't have retractable fangs like vipers (i.e. Rattlers) so their fangs are fixed and gunk from whatever they bite (i.e. rodents) can get stuck in the venom canal (and rot). well when he was bitten, instead of being injected w/ venom, he was injected w/ that gunk that caused his hand and arm to swell to pre-gangrene stages. he still uses a hook to handle them.Most of the hots had a sign saying "venomoid". So did they all have their fangs surgically removed?
Not a fan of thisHope they just meant to say "venomous".
Great pics though, I haven't been to an expo in far to long !!! I'm afraid I'd have to bring a hand wagon to haul everything I would buy along with me, LMAO !!
