Hello, I'm just seeking some info about both of these, I have experince with various hots, all kinds of pit vipers and elapids, cobras and some western green mambas that I keep now. I've always wanted blacks or taipans. My question is to those who have kept them, I've heard taipans aren't as crazy and nuts as Black Mambas, they wont shoot up and onto a bookcase, and you can mostly tong them, where blacks , and my greens too, go insane with tongs, I have to hook and tail. Was just curious what can I expect if I keep a couple blacks or PNG taipans, and some people have told me PNG taipans are much easier to deal with then blacks and even my D. Viridis, was just curious which poses less of a threat to me between Black Mambas or PNG Taipans. Thanks much for your responses. Please if you have kept either of these species, post your experinces with them.
