    A bite from anything considered to have venom is going to be different from one person to the next. If you're worried about the bite, really two options.

    1.) Don't get the snake.
    2.) Wear some gloves.
    -Venomous-

    1.0 - Naja siamensis - Zeus (Black & White Spitting Cobra)
    1.0 - Naja n. woodi - Hades (Black Spitting Cobra)
    0.1 - Naja nigricollis - Athena (Black-necked Spitting Cobra)

    coming at some point in the future
    Naja annulata (Ringed Water Cobra)

    one of my hoggies got me when she was 11 grams. she managed to get her rear fangs into my finger, and that venom was quite unpleasant. the tip of my finger was swollen for a good 3-4 days. obviously, i'm much more careful when i handle them now.

    I’ve only been bitten once. She did chew for a while before I got her off but I had no reaction at all. Just varies from person to person.

    Same here. I have a girl around 250 grams who loves to bite just about anything. She gnawed on my finger pretty good once. I had to hold her under the faucet to get her off, but once she was off I was fine. Didn't swell up or anything.

    Exactly right !!
