Im looking for a valid 'teacher' for handling the 'wilder' 1
Im looking for a valid teacher for learning the handling 'aspects' of faster snakes, namely cobras.. If anyone knows someone, serious.... give me a heads up... Id greatly appreciate it.

That is one snake I'd NEVER want to handle. I've always thought they had way to many gears spinning in their heads for my comfort level.  |

Forest cobras, Julius !!!
I found them to be on eof the moe "intelligent" of the naja, very powerful, and once they hit 2m, a #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& of a handful.
A good starterelapid, (if there is such a thing!!!!) is something like the Mozambican spitter.

Im 23 yrs old.. and to make a long story short, I started with boids and monitors, to which im still addicted... then to the copperheads/rattlers with a hook.. no problems, all things considered, and I'm thinking a move towards the more 'mobile' snakes is a valid 'step'... Im completely self taught, as far as the handling goes, but would like the opinions of a few people who have handled naja etc, without dieing, before I give it a go myself.. Ive seen cobras handled, in the 'flesh' but you know how it | |
