Dear all , I gave some questions of safe management pet vipers or other venomous snakes . Questions abd describe as below .
I live in Taiwan . Here are more and more herp keeprs started to keep exotica venomous snakes . Exotics venomous snakes are really exciting for herp keepers in Taiwan . But the most serious problems is :
We have no anti-venumou for exotics venomous snakes and most of venomous snake keepers don't understand how important safe management is . They will always thinking about that's keeping venomous snakes is cool especially exotica venomous snakes .
A poor guy was killed by an adult Bitis peringueyi 2 months ago . A woman was killed by a sub-adult king cobra . More and more people will got snake bites in Taiwan even their families .
This is really a serious problem for us ! Venomous snakes is becoming more and more popular in Taiwan pet trade market , but not too mamy keepers undertsnad how to protect theirselves .
That's the reason why I posted this article in this forum . I hope you guys who has much exprence of keeping , breeding and sefily contral of venomous snakes could offer me some helpful suggests . I am also interested in venomous snakes , but before I have enough knowledge about protect myself , I will never try a exotica species without anti-venomou .
