I am an autistic individual and my favorite out of all the snakes is the Green Mamba. I think I should own them in the future with experts around, even though I’m not experienced with venomous reptiles.

The experts should be able to care for the Eastern green mambas and I would observe the snakes. I also think there should be an anti-venom treatment in the case of an accident.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

There's quite a few posts on this site mentioning close encounters with snakes while bushwalking. We met up with a juvenile tiger snake ourselves last week on Ben Lomond, but only Beck saw him after I walked straight past in the scrub. It does raise the question of what to do if you get bitten a few days walk from the nearest road. Standard first aid talks about imobilising the limb, pressure bandage but no tourniquet these days, and no cutting the bite or anything like that. The next step is getting medical attention asap. And that's the problem if you're a long way out in the bush. So has anyone got a plan?? Carrying an EPIRB is probably to obvious one, but any other ideas??

Please help

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Hello,

As mentioned previously, I cannot provide much help to anyone here on caravanning, as I’m new to the game. Instead of just sucking up information, USING and taking from this forum, I would also like to give something back to the forum and members, as there are other areas where I can help members by sharing my own knowledge and experience.

Getting a bee in my bonnet over another thread, has prompted me to post a little about snakes, as this is a very real concern for us as a group, and snakes are a passion of mine.

We are ALL going to encounter snakes at some stage in our travels. We have all been in close proximity to snakes (whether we realise it at the time or not). Here in Australia snakes are part of the furniture we must learn to co-exist with, and there are endless misconceptions, myths, fears and stories revolving around snakes.

Things are VERY slow on the forums these days--- here's a pic of a young Western Barred Spitting Cobra “Yellow Phase” Naja nigricincta- sometimes reffered to as Zebra Spitters. I find these a real joy to work with compared to some of the nutso elapids out there.

Snapped a quick pic of one of my Samar's eating today. They are very "energetic" so with a mouse stuffed in his mouth I was finally able to get a semi clear picture!

They are a spitter species, but my pair has never tried spitting. I spoke with 2 other keepers and neither or them have experienced any spitting behavior either.

I usually keep crotes but couldn't pass up the chance to get a pair of these.

Enjoy!

Hello, I moved to Thailand a few months ago from the States. I read that the cobra eggs are hatching in March and April here in Southern Thailand and I've been searching EVERYWHERE. I can't seem to find any yet. I ask the locals and they tell me they see them often enough. I've been looking during the day mostly... do you think driving the rural jungle roads at night would yield better results? I was told they tend to be more active at night? Thanks for your input, I'd love to see and photo one or two.

Senate Bill #477 and House Bill #1242 in Virginia are going to take away your right to own pythons and venomous species, unless you make your voice heard, NOW!!! This legislation would ban almost all species of large python/venomous reptiles, along with a vast array of other exotic animals, and make it very complicated to keep if you already own them. Euthanasia is going to likely be the result for many thousands of private specimens/educational animals/exhibition displays, unless we fight this. Even if this doesn’t appear to impact your collection or business, with the recent track record on legislation, it’s only a matter of time before it snow-balls into future bans that do affect your collection, or impact you financially.

If you don’t live in Virginia, but have ever done business with someone here, this affects you too, as your businesses have contributed to our economy, so make a call. If our way of life is to survive, Virginians, and enthusiast everywhere must fight this as a unified front. Contact your state representative immediately (contact info below) and make sure they know you oppose this legislation passing, but please stick to these guidelines that will give you a positive result:

1. Be clear that you DO NOT want Senate Bill #477 or HB#1242 to be passed into law.
2. If you are going to write, send a personalized hand written letter, preferably 1 page.
3. Stay Positive, an angry message will get the opposite result of what you hope to achieve.
4. Address that you are a taxpayer and voter, and this will be the issue that determines your vote, and the votes of many you know in the next election: friends, family, customers
5. “I’m sure you weren’t aware” statement. (i.e.: Impact on education, jobs)
6. “We want to work with you” statements. (i.e.: data analysis, research, study, towards responsible ownership)
7. Be respectful !!!

Don’t just send an email into the abyss. Write, call, fax, and if you really feel strongly about it, put on a tie go to the committee representative’s office at the General Assembly building in Richmond and voice your opposition in person. Maybe I’ll see you there.

TIMES OF INDIA (New Delhi) 12 July 11 More trouble in store for snake charmers (SinghBinay Singh)
Varanasi: The forest department is going tough on snake charmers. The department will launch a drive against public display of snakes, like python and cobra, particularly during the Shrawan month.
"Since keeping snakes in captivity and their display in public is prohibited under the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, it is an illegal activity," said divisional forest officer of social forestry, Varanasi, LR Bairwa. "Such drives are conducted from time to time just to discourage this illegal practice," he told TOI. He, however, could not specify how many snake charmers had been caught so far. Most of the snake charmers were allowed to go after realising a penalty from them, he said.
According to him, both python and cobra are listed under endangered species of wildlife. As per the Wildlife Act, no person can hunt any wild animal specified in schedule I, II, III and IV. The Government of India enacted the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 with the objective of effectively protecting the wild life and put a check on poaching, smuggling and illegal trade in wildlife. The act was amended in 2003 and punishment and penalty for offences under the act had been made more stringent. "Only law cannot discourage this practice, but there is need for public awareness as the profession is also associated with the religious sentiments of people," said Arvind Mishra, a science writer associated with the UP Chapter of Indian Science Writers' Association.
Public display of snakes is a common scene in most parts of the country. Special occasions like Naag Panchami and Shrawan month witness a number of snake charmers displaying serpents along the streets and other places. In Hindu mythology, snakes find a respected status. Snake charming is an inherited profession. But, it was banned in India in 1991. And, since then, people associated with this trade have been struggling for survival.
Today, the practice of snake charming in danger particularly after banning ownership of serpents. The Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 originally aimed at preventing the export of snake skins, introducing a seven-year prison term for owning or selling of the creatures. Later, the snake charmers were also brought under its purview.
"We have left this profession due to the fear of forest department," said an elderly snake charmer, Mewa Lal, a resident of Nat Basti in Newada area. About 20 families of snake charmers dwell in this locality. But, today, they are out of job and forced to work as daily wagers or earn livelihood through begging. "Snake charming is our traditional profession. But, for the past one year, we have left this profession," said Mewalal, a father of eight children. Nowadays, he begs on the ghats to feed his family. His wife Lalti Devi said they were unable to fulfil even the basic needs of their children. "The government has banned our profession, but did nothing for our survival," said another woman, Kewala Devi, adding they were not getting any benefits of the government programmes. Obviously the profession was hardly a profitable one, but their situation worsened after the ban. Almost all dwellers of Nat Basti are living a pathetic life.

DECCAN HERALD (Bangalore, India) 03 July 11 15-ft long cobra caught in Karwar
Karwar: A 15-foot long king cobra was spotted at the Vailavada village in Karwar taluk on Sunday.
The snake was spotted by Sainath Naik, a resident of the village, when he was fetching water from a overhead tank constructed on top of a hillock in the village.
He immediately rushed back to the village and informed others, who in turn called officers of the forest department. Forest department staff rushed to the spot with Marshall Menezes, a snake catcher. Seeing the crowd, the snake hid itself in a bush and refused to come out, forcing the team to cut the bushes.
After a two-and-a-half hour long struggle, Menezes finally managed to catch the snake with the help of the forest department staff. Menezes recalled that he had last caught a 15-foot long king cobra in 1992-93 and added that he had not spotted such a big snake in the region since then.

THE MIRROR (London, UK) 29 June 11 Snake breeder dead after being bitten by one of his own snakes
A snake breeder has died after being bitten by one of his venomous reptiles.
Police are investigating the death of the man in his 40s in Eastwood, Nottingham, today.
He is believed to be Luke Yeomans, a snake breeder who was due to open the King Cobra Sanctuary breeding colony to the public this weekend.
Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called at around 2pm to a property in Brookhill Leys Road, near Eastwood, where the man had suffered a suspected heart attack.
It is believed he had received a bite from a venomous snake, a spokeswoman said, and said he was pronounced dead at the scene.
She said the snake has been contained and there is no danger to the public.
"The RSPCA, Health and Safety Executive and Broxtowe Borough Council have been informed of the incident," police said.
"Nottinghamshire Police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death in conjunction with the appropriate agency and will liaise with the coroner's office."
A spokeswoman for the Health and Safety Executive said they were aware of the incident and were making preliminary inquiries.
The King Cobra Sanctuary, based at Brookhill Leys Farm, offers people the chance to see the king cobras in the breeding colony.
Writing on its website previously, Mr Yeomans said: "The King Cobra Sanctuary was born from my lifelong love for this amazing snake species and my concerns that it could eventually disappear from the wild.
"Until mankind changes the way he treats the natural world, a living 'Ark' is required for the survival of many animal species.
"The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), an end of the line apex predator, is certainly one of them.
"With 30 years experience of the King Cobra, myself and my daughter Nicole - now in our third year of the project, will maintain a breeding colony of this large and dangerous, but also misunderstood venomous snake."
Mr Yeomans recently told the BBC he was keeping the colony of adult and juvenile king cobras in a compound behind his house as a "safety net" to protect the species from possible extinction.
He said he started the project in 2008 in reaction to the depletion of the snake's natural habitat in forests of south-east Asia and India, and planned to breed another 100 snakes by the end of 2011.
He told the BBC: "People do say that I am mad but I say it's better than people saying you're bad.
"I think everything I am doing is good."

NEW YORK POST (New York) 29 March 11 Bronx Zoo cobra found - on Twitter! (Amber Sutherland and Don Kaplan)
The deadly Egyptian cobra that's been MIA at the Bronx Zoo has attained celebrity status -- it now has its own Twitter page.
"Anyone know a good vegan restaurant near Union Square?" reads one tweet, written under the name "BronxZoosCobra."
"Leaving Wall Street. These guys make my skin crawl," reads another post on the spoof account, which chronicles the imagined meanderings of the snake on the lam.
The cobra -- missing from its enclosure at the zoo's Reptile House since Saturday -- even gives a shoutout to a fellow wayward celebrity.
Alyssa Borek/Bronx Zoo"Dear @CharlieSheen, know what's better than tiger's blood? Cobra venom. Also I'm 20 inches long. Just sayin," reads a tweet.
The snake also likes actress Tina Fey: "Rockefeller Plaza is amaz. . . . wait . . . OMG! Tina Fey totally just walked by me! HUUUUGE FAN!"
It could take weeks for zoo workers to find the slippery serpent, says TV reptile expert Jeff Corwin.
"These snakes are perfectly designed to hide in the hardest-to-find places," the Animal Planet star told The Post yesterday.
But it would likely die within several days if exposed to the cold, he said.
"The Bronx would eat this cobra alive," he said.

FOX (Tampa Bay, Florida) 29 March 11 Missing Bronx Zoo Cobra On Twitter
New York: A venomous cobra remains missing at the Bronx Zoo. The reptile vanished from an enclosure outside public view on Friday.
Its Reptile House is closed as a precaution while zoo workers search for the cobra.
The reptile has found a new life, however, on Twitter as @BronxZoosCobra .
With more than 18,000 followers, the cobra's bio reads: "I'm an Egyptian cobra out on the town" with a location listed as " I'm not at the Bronx Zoo."
One Tweet said "I agree with Brett Favre. Snakes should be set free!"
While the roughly 20-inch-long Egyptian cobra — a highly venomous species of snake — has been unaccounted for since Friday afternoon, zoo officials say they're confident it hasn't gone far and isn't in a public area. Its enclosure was in an isolation area not open to visitors.
"To understand the situation, you have to understand snakes," zoo Director Jim Breheny said in an email Sunday.
The animals seek out confined spaces, so this one has doubtless hidden in a place it feels safe, he said.
Once the snake gets hungry or thirsty enough to leave its hiding place, workers will have their best opportunity to recover it, Breheny said. In the meantime, the Reptile House remained closed indefinitely.
The missing cobra is an adolescent of its hooded species, which is believed to be the type of snake that was called an asp in antiquity. Cobra bites can be deadly if not treated properly, but the snakes aren't likely to attack people unless the reptiles feel threatened, according to a fact sheet on the San Diego Zoo's website.
Opened in 1899, the Bronx Zoo is run by the nonprofit Wildlife Conservation Society.

DAILY TIMES (New York, New York) 29 March 11 Elusive cobra gone missing at Bronx Zoo now has more than 10,000 followers on Twitter (Barry Paddock and Lore Croghan)
It could be weeks before an escaped cobra is captured at the Bronx Zoo, officials said Monday.
Despite searches of the Reptile House, animal specialists have not found the pencil-thin snake missing since Friday.
And they're not sure when that will change.
"Right now, it's the snake's game," the zoo said in a statement. "At this point, it's just like fishing; you put the hook in the water and wait. Our best strategy is patience, allowing her time to come out of hiding."
Zoo workers are confident the venomous Egyptian cobra is still in the Reptile House, but it's probably too freaked out by all the equipment to move a muscle.
They expect that as the snake gets more comfortable, it will venture out for food and water and be caught.
The fanged fugitive might be keeping ophidiophobes away from the Bronx - but some folks were drawn to the zoo because of the cold-blooded drama.
Donna Henson of Atlanta made a special stop Monday, hoping she would be on the scene if the snake was nabbed.
"I'm an animal lover," said Henson, 55. "I love them all, even snakes."
Her brother, Frank Cioffi, 56, accompanied her - reluctantly.
"I'm not crazy about snakes," he confessed. "I'm a little anxious. But this is my sister's birthday present."
"It's exciting. I'm not scared at all," said Yves Chardonnet, 39, a tourist from Paris.
But he had to talk a friend into joining him. "Of course, I'm scared," said the pal, Alain Coat, 38. "You don't want to be bitten."
Meanwhile, an anonymous wit opened a Twitter account in the name of "an Egyptian cobra out on the town" that quickly drew more than 10,000 followers.
"Dear NYC, Apples and snakes have gone together since the beginning," it tweeted.
