Here we are arguing about the noob troll when the real world is still rotating.

In TAMPA FL. saturday
A venomous snake owner got a multiple strike bite from one of his black mambas.
he has mega experiance with hot elapids but one slip with a black mamba can spell doom!.
I will update as soon as I find out more.
monster rancher I hope this quells your quest to appear like you want a black.

That is absolutely awful. I pray your friend makes it through the day. If he lives that long, I'm sure he'll pull through it...

Was at the Reptile World Serpentarium today (17Aug) after going to the Daytona show. GVH did a great job at the noon extraction and we were chatting afterword. He recieved a couple of calls while we where there. I try not to eavesdrop but when you overhear multiple Mamba bite your ears perk up. I suspect this is the same unfortunate event. News did not appear to be good. We left pretty quickly while GVH was still on the phone. It was obvious that we were unintentially intruding on a distressful situation. Hope all goes well.

Just checked St. Pete Times and Tampa Trib for more info but didn't find any.
