I still think the worst times I've had were courtesy of nonvenomous species. Reticulated pythons can be horrible, and they are bigger and stronger than me. My king is very naughty, but he weighs only 3-something kilograms and cobras are neither particularly fast nor particularly strong. Retics can be both, and I do not like working with them.

I also think that Asian rat snakes are the devil incarnate. I would much rather play with mambas than with those buggers.
Wow. Surprised to see that. Asian rat snakes are the devil incarnate.

I agree actually. Used to have a couple cave rats. Beautiful animals and all. The bites didn't bother me until they got bigger. THEN I learned how to handle them and avoud the teeth. Didn't know I was getting experience to keep hots. I have no interest in hots and will likely never GO there, but I guess I could if I had TOO. The stories I've read about blackforests and mambas and taipans would make me say NO to those of course
