This is certainly a site that i will pay lots of attention to. while i don't keep any hot stuff at the present , it is great to know that there is some one out there who cares enough to write about the very subject that most cocky keepers would rather just chock up as, just another snake on a hook.How far from the truth is that..Thanks.

Just thought I would inform that the Hunters aren't using that address now. They do have a mirror site
at http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/6560/index.html that, from what I understand,
will be used until http://venom101.com/ is up and running.

I am doing a report on the spitting cobra. I have searched and can not find the speed at which the cobra moves. I would appreciate any information and/or referral to a source that contains this information. Thank you.

this was a great topic, another bad distraction in venomous keeping and handeling is drinking.....ohhh whoa the fool that thinks its ok to drink and handle, in my opinion its just as deadly as driveing intoxicated!! ive wittnesed this first hand as a friend made this mistake with a moccasin, not only does it distract you but it throws your depth perception off...it makes you more bold than you should be as well as the worse symptom....IT THINS YOUR BLOOD. think of haveing potent venom running through thin blood right to your heart!!
this should be added to the top ten of not to do's on any keepers list "never drink and drive and never drink and handle"! thanks for the time!!

I was reading your list of common handling mistakes and have to say that you hit the nail on the head in regards to improper housing of hot snakes (specificly in plasic tubs and buckets).
I had a very close friend who was very experienced with handling venomous reptiles and had more knowlege and love for his animals than any two people combined. What he was lacking was money and space ,so he would put animals in white five gallon plastic buckets with snap-on lids.
It was brought to his attention more than once that it dangerous to use these because it is hard to see where the snake is located while you pry the lid off to feed and water (even though he had a small screened window located in the top) , not to mention that you have to stick you finger tips under the lip of the lid to remove it . To complicate things even more he would house more than one individual to a bucket
To make a long story short he is no longer with us. He was bitten on the finger by one of his cobras and died on the side walk in front of his house while trying to get help from a passing motorist.
It is a shame to think that with something as simple proper housing of his animals he may still be here sharing all his knowlege of the animals he loved so much. Consider the money spent on cages to be the best money you ever spent and some of the cheapest insurance to help avoid unnessesary accidents.
