[QUOTE="LC72uk, post: 148538, member: 4840"] Thanks Mass. It`s true , hot keepers are fully aware of what these snakes are capable of doing to the human body but we do see past that danger and look more into the behaviour of the animal , studying their body language (it helps to know when a strike is on the way) , all snakes are different. As you know Mass , Rattlers will S bend when about to strike , very rarely will Rattlers give a dry bite , no venom injected. With Cobras , totally different. If you have a Cobra out in the middle of the lounge floor , when they strike they always will strike downwards and aim for the feet, that`s why I have my steel toecap boots on when dealing with them.9 times out of 10 Cobras bluff the strike ,their mouths are closed and they kind of headbutt , but when that next strike is about to happen and the Cobras mouth is open , this strike is not going to be a headbutt it will be a full bite They are pretty tolerant and highly intelligent snakes . And as Viper keeper on you tube says "The most Venomous Snake in the World , is the one that`s just bit you":) [/QUOTE]
