okay with that Hans.
i know what you mean.
everyone has a different way of thinking with this hobby.
i think if you have lots of experience with venomous snakes then there is no problem what kind a snake it is.
but there is one important thing in this hobby: only take care of the venomous species where you have a good feeling with.
you have to feel relax with them.
take me for example.
i,ve got 15 years experience with snakes and the last 6 a 7 years with venomous snakes.
i feel good with asian cobra species because they are relax to work with.
and many times they are bluffing with their behavior.
i get nervous with african species because they really wanna kill you and most of the time they are very nervous so i can't concentrate myself with handling.
taipans and mambas are the same to me.
maybe i don't have the patience for those species.

Funny that you say that, for me it's the other way around. Not that I don't feel relaxed when working with Asian cobra's, but I like the African cobra's so much more than the Asiatic ones. That's my reason why I don't work (a lot) with Asian cobra's. I don't see any difference (in general) between Asian and African cobra's (I had different species from both continents). I had (worked with) both and some of them where not easy to handle. Not a problem. In general, I like the more unpredictable cobra's (more defensive, feeding response, etc.) more than the really easy ones. They keep you sharp.
I never worked with taipans, but I handled a Eastern green mamba. This is a species that can climb and is so much faster and... it made me nervous as hell. I know I would never buy such an animal in my life. This is a step to high for me and I don't want to take any risks.
Cheers,
Niels |
