Will you have access to the internet? I'd love to hear about your training and adventure every so often.

Good luck!

I wish you luck. Do be careful as kings are really dangerous but there are a lot of dangerous mammalian animals out there. You will probably see my favorite venemous snake.....the Russells Vipers. India has the best looking ones. Take plenty of pics and have fun.

Good Luck, and keep "the hood" at a distance!

Yes, King Cobras make a nest..that is really cool! Does the male hang around nd protect the area, or does he split and leave the female to guard the nest?

Have a great trip!

Good Luck Man....I truly wish the best for however,I have to say whats on my mind here. Based on the numerous questions you've asked here....are you capable of being in the same proximity of king cobras?

I just read my last post and I think it might have came across wrong....I was joking around with you posting on the ball forum and speaking of king cobras at the same time.....I wish you the best and not to get bit!!!

(That's what I get for typing fast!)

Are you going to be staying in Goa?
It is really full of tourists...but should be comfortable.
Bangalore should be interesting as well.
Take care.
