This is from Ray's web site. I do not know him at all. I have never even heard of him. If you think about it how many times have you guys been bit by BPs. Now how many times have breeders been bit?
I know that BPs and snakes that kill are different but still I hope people see my point about the situation. I know it is not apples and apples but every now and the an orange makes the point.
*** NOTE*** For anyone interested in getting involved with venomous snakes I HIGHLY recommend and fully endorse B W Smith’s book “VENOMOUS SNAKES IN CAPTIVITY”. Brian Smith is a good friend of mine, and while I get a kick out of his reactions to some of the photos of myself ‘free-handling’ I will be the first to admit that his book teaches the CORRECT way to handle. This book is a MUST for venomous keepers. Click photo to view or order his book:
Notice where he says the CORRECT way to handle snakes. He is not condoning what he does and even states that it is the incorrect way to handle snakes.
