First off let me say that i appreciate everyone's concern and advice.
i agree with steven and archie. i honostly am just interested and i would never get any pet (doesnt matter if it is a dog or a cobra) with out doing my research first. i am currently working under 3 people one of which was one of the first, if not the first, person to own spectical cobras in the southeast. he doesnt keep cobras anymore and i barely work under him anyways. the main person owns every native venomous to florida along with a gila and a albino western diamondback.
i understand completely that cobras are infinitly more agile then vipers. i dont have my permit yet and wont get it for another 7 months or so.
i have a lot of time to think about what i want to get.
no doubt my question was a novice one. this PROBABLY is because i dont own or havent worked with even this family of snakes. i dont know how i made it seem like i knew what i was talking about. however, i am incredibly interested in cobras but the problem is i dont know anyone with them.i wouldnt want my first cobra to be a king (duh!)
i'm just looking for more information. Isnt that the first step to experience?? searching the internet for info can be very very flakey. two different care sheets can be polar opposits.
i talked to the guy from diamond reptile breeders and i was really fascinated when he told me that they will recognize their owner. he also said that coral cobras are a pretty small species. any comments?
also, archie could you tell me more about your shield nose cobras?
