Played with some old friends today
 

My apologies to the adrenaline junkies, I didn't get any crazy exciting shots.
The first two are after being put together in a VE-175. The 3rd on a recent encounter...sorry about the water on the lens, I didn't notice it til after.

Ah, what the heck....here's the reason the last pic looked the way it did.
(no, he was not there initially, but he lunged across the enclosure when he realized the camera was partly inside - yes, partly inside, meaning my hand was outside where it belonged)

Beautiful!

I woudl love to be able to get those (that's why the boss won't let me go to Hamburg :rofl: ).

Absolutely gorgeous animals. :thumbsup:

Wow Harald! They are stunning!

Are those albino monocle cobras? Sorry, but I'm not well versed on venomous.

Yeah, makes me wish I wasn't in NYS, so I could keep that stuff here.

yessir

Harold,
Have you noticed that the albinos have more attitude than the normals? Just my observation. I've had quite a few normals that could qualify for a children's petting zoo!

The female isn't bad to work with, but the male is a :censored:
These are the first albinos I have kept...well, the first monocleds I have kept, lol (I've kept 8-9 kinds of cobras over the years, just not N. kaouthia).
My only other experience was with a former business partner's animals...he had a normal and an albino, and neither was particularly aggressive.

If anybody has (or can direct me to) any good breeding info, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've done searches & come up with crap, asked around & gotten ignored or given responses that were less than helpful...so I'm just flying by the seat of my pants and hoping I hit on a combination that works.
(I probably shouldn't bother, because I can't bring the babies home & they can't stay there...but I'll have a while to worry about that when I see eggs)

AWESOME...and you got a shot of one of the sweethearts drinking! :)

beautiful animals

man i got to get a room together.
