Incoming Cobras!!! (1.1 Naja kaouthia)

[Najakeeper]

Alright, so this didn't happen last year due to last minute cancellation but it did this year. I got a female from this beautiful bloodline and I will get a Leucistic male when I can.

Here is the female:

She is beautiful.

Very beautiful, sorry to hear the other ones fell through. Are there updated photos of them, I'm still curious.

Unfortunately I don't as they were sold to other people and I lost track of them.

I just love how this girl looks, especially the partial monocle, she is amazing:

She is not afraid to charge at me either the little bugger .

After another shed, she is looking absolutely spectacular. I have finally managed to find a mate for her, I am getting a 2014 Blue eyed Leucistic male before the month ends.

Well, here is a sneak peek:

Wow. Gorgeous!

Beautiful animals. What do you do if you get bit by one of those, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Najakeeper]

Bind your bitten extremity tight, call the ambulance, call the antivenom bank and hope for the best.

No pain no gain

Immobilize the extremity-bite site as much as possible without restricting circulation.
If a fanatic as the OP, keep a sharpy indelible marker handy. Write the time of the bite on your skin near the bite location and if the bite is difficult to see, an arrow pointing to it. Every 5 minutes or so make a mark where the swelling and or discoloration has spread to and write the time. IE ---> +5 min (Helps medics determine rate of profusion)
Have the proper name of the snake written down or even write it on the extremity in case you decide to not be conscious to inform folks.
Remove any jewelry or tight clothing on the extremity! (A tight ring+crotalidae bite can=loss of finger).
Take nothing by mouth, eat or drink.

And if you are a fanatic hot keeper, consider having a target tattooed on the center of your chest and the caption: Compress Here

Snark is right as usual, that's the "proper" procedure pretty much word to word in my protocol. One thing to add, which is important. "Unlock the front door!"

And yes, I do have an electroshock here tattoo on my chest just in case .

In your case I'd put a sign up out front as well:

Serves a dual purpose.

This is why I prefer the giants. Locked cage? Check. Extra helpers? Check. Spray bottle of vinegar? Check.
