Steven,
I wasn't being sarcastic, merely pointing out what you said:
"If you have the experience to own hots and your first has to be a cobra get a monocled. They are readily availible, easy to care for (for a non native venomous), and don't get too huge."
Monocleds DO get big, as I said, 6' plus. Mind you, not as big as a King or Forest cobra or even an Ashe's cobra. However, the topic at hand is "small cobra species" and I don't believe Monocled's fit that category. Monocled's, in my opinion, are absolutely the worst FIRST choice for a cobra, especially if someone doesn't have experience with cobra's. I suggest start with something smaller, like Sheildnose, etc. Untreated monocled's bites makes body parts fall off, and that ain't good.
Detah soon follows, and that ain't good either.
Tis' only MY opinion Steven, and don't take it personal.
