    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

KING COBRAS hip hip...hoo-ray!

Kings are such a great animals. Impressive beast, Ray! Here's a few shots I took this evening of my breeding pair. The male is pushing 13ft, and the female is 12ft. I introduced them 2 or 3 weeks ago, and they've been courting heavily. The king cobra waltz is an interesting and beautiful thing. I've never bred kings before. I also missed it last year. This year I have my fingers crossed. My female is huge right now, so I'm just hoping for the best.

male hood portrait - my male is incredibly docile and curious. when I opened the door to take the shot he prompty investigated as he usually does. He really is intelligent. The only time he has appeared grumpy is when I approach him wearing an american flag doo-rag. Weird.

the submissive female - she looks pretty thick and scheduled to be fed tomorrow

portrait flash male - looks to be saying, "What, huh?" Isn't he a cute?

I'm so proud of my kids!

AWESOME PHOTOS!!! Have you bred Kings before? I am planning on breeding Kings and Indian Cobras. I will have to brush up my breeding skills first. Actually, I will have to aquire breeding skills (all I know is venom production and a little of the import and wholesale trade)

All the very best to you.

This is my first time breeding kings, so this is pretty important to me.

As far as Naja in general, they are about as difficult to breed as growing grass. Make sure your females are well fed and I begin introducing males in october. Cooling works, but it's not required to be successful breeding them. I didn't cool my Naja this year.

That haje is extremely exceptional. I'll post pics of my specimen under that thread tomorrow.

Peace! Love! ....and Cobras!

I've got my fingers crossed!

Don't wanna jump the gun here but it looks like she's gonna go ladies and gentlemen. Wooooo-hoo!
