    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....

hello,

I hope it is the right board where to post, otherwise: sorry.

I have cobra snake in bottle (snake wine) to sell, contact me if interested.

Thanks.
 
Wow. That looks just like the one that Steve Clark has.
 
Yeah he is proud of it and posts it on KS. I was just wondering if you were able to twist his arm and get it from him.:D
Pretty cool. Not something you see everyday.

No idea.
Try posting on the venemous section at kingsnake.com.
 
those are pretty cool. a buddy of mine has one of those. poor snakes though... i dont know what kind of cobra it is... i know its an ahaetulla nasuta in its mouth...
 
You guys are just plain SICK! I cant believe you would buy something like that! :hot: That poor snake was alive until some bastard had to kill it and put it in a bottle that is the stupidest thing I have EVER seen, you guys make me so mad! :hot: :hot: :hot: :hot: :hot:
 
I much prefer kitten wine, but snake will do. Nothing cuter than a pickled kitten face staring at you through a glass bottle!!


C.mon man, these wine bottles are made in asia and are very popular there, cultural if you will. Some places worship cattle, but I bet you still enjoy a nice moo-patty from time to time eh?
 
They are on Ebay from time to time

up for auction and i have seen them at a certain hot show before and I imagine they are just conversation pieces. BUT while I would never try the contents out, they are consumed by some peoples of the Asian territories for many reasons including medicinal wellness and the popular belief of a " APHRODISIAC " !
 
Look at the pic again folks...is it me or does that look like an Asian vine snake?? definately not a cobra

The cobra is behind the vine snake, holding it in it's mouth.

While I don't condone the original creator of these items killing snakes in order to make cheap tourist trinkets, that maker has obviously already gotten his money, and thus the damage (of encouraging him) is done. Passing it around once it's been bought doesn't actually do any more damage. In fact, it may be beneficial, since providing a resale market for items of this sort reduces the portion of the demand that can only be filled with new items.

So, basically, by re-selling this thing once the novelty wears off, the original poster is actually taking away part of the market that would otherwise be filled by killing more snakes. Re-selling it is the next best thing to do next to it not getting purchased from the original vendor in the first place.

I've drank some sake that had a venomous snake in the bottle (not sure what it was)...it was pretty nasty, but I lived. It had scales floating in it...yuck...but I'll try anything once. I also had some sake that had bees about half the size of golf balls in it...good thing I'm not allergic to bees!
 
Hi when I was in the marines stationed in okiniawa they had what wascalled habu sake that is probably what you drank and you are soooo right itis nasty.
 
Famous snake

Still very famous in asia.

But really not sure it's a cobra?
 
I believe the wine is Vietnamese.

Plugin "cobra wine" into Google (or your favorite search engine) and you should find a plethora of information.

As far as being upset with using an animal in such a way, I can understand and respect that. The fact is that these animals (and many others) are valued in various asian cultures for many reasons, including medicinal use, virility, prosperity, etc.

I work with a consultant (originally from Hong Kong) who has eaten dogs, cats, and snakes (dogs and snakes). Its all a matter of culture. My wife is Hindu and won't eat beef - doesn't have an issue with me eating it though.
