A king

This guy was captive bred and raised in tampa.
He liked going out side for the pics.
So tame that he would never 'hood up" in anger.
I think he was 2 or so years old.
Super fat rodent feeder !
you guys like king cobras?

What happened to him? You must really know your animals well to be handling him like that. Beautiful animal......

A tribute to captive breeding.
no comparison ot a wild caught king.

sorry for not being clear on thAt
have fun got to get to the old grindstone.

psilocybe
Tame or not, I'd be hesitant to state that any venomous is tame or friendly. I mean, we aren't dealing with the Einsteins of the animal world here, and while O. hannah may show a degree of intelligence that is superior to other snakes, they still are mainly instinctual animals and could get startled or defensive for any number of reasons.

Not trying to preach against freehandling (I know you SI Bud, but does your friend? And would you have an immunity to hannah venom anyway?), but it is risky and unneccesary. At least he was wearing gloves, LOL...

psilocybe
I realized my opening sentence made absolutely no sense. Maybe I should have said it like this:

Well-behaved or not...

Thumbs up good point

well hanna venom is very weak just a lot of it
yea the gloves help but then again you cannot depend on them either.
I guess it all comes down to you must know what your doing.
not everyone can be rocket scientists.
There are a lot of examples of bad free handlers with bad stories.
there are a few good freehandlers.
I am not promoting either .

Hmmm... with a LD of 50 mg, and over 350 mg in yield...I don't know if I would label them so lightly...
but, that is one hell of a pretty snake!
