1. Do you have to have a special license to keep them. If so what do you do to get one. I know that it is different for each country etc but just wondering who here has licenses etc

2. How do you do general maintenance with these, like feeding, watering and cleaning. Do you take them out of their cages?

3. What housing arrangements would you need for these snakes.

4. And if anyone has any pics of their cobras could you post them please, Id love to see them

Thanks

Dave
you need a specific permit for exotic venomous although some states dont permit them.
2- i hook my adults (monacleds) quite often and have no problems.
3- i have no idea of the brand of mine but you need a specific cage that is heavily locked to prevent escape.

4- ive got a pic of a baby albino monacled laying around... ill edit my post and put it in

edit- heres a link to a couple for sale
