Good morning, Sal. Are all your buddies tucked in nice and cozy? Nobody out roaming the neighborhood?

In many of the videos, Gifford appears in a yard with an uncaged cobra, filming it crawling through the grass.
“She is so unhappy right now,” he says in a video, as the cobra hisses and raises its hood. “Gotta love having a cobra. It’s sick. I mean, how often can you say that I get to play with my cobra? Every day.”
In another, he allows the snake to crawl out of a large garbage can.
“We’re gonna let her come out,” he says. “’Cause she’s not hurting anybody. OK, let’s get her to hood up. You got her, Dad? Oh, she’s moving. There we go. There’s that beautiful cobra.”
Beware the fecking gobshytes who keep pets like this and then let them loose.
There are always these types who humanize animals and think they have a “special” connection to read an animals emotions. In the same stroke, they dehumanize people who question them and their motives (all the nuts on Tiger King highlight this).
They are delusional and dangerous. Man living with bears in an Alaskan documentary and feeding them, letting them come into his home etc. The other bear but Timothy Tredwell who got himself and his girlfriend eaten alive by a grizzly.
They get in over their head quickly and endanger everyone and Everythjng around them, including the animals they claim to “love.” Let’s face it. They crave attention and the animals are like accessories to gain that attention....much like the gay pay for egg or spend crowd to buy babies they cannot have themselves. Just all for attention.
Why do these idiots think a cobra is a good pet?
Some thirty years ago, I visited the house of a friend from work. He told me to watch where I stepped, so I wouldn’t accidentally step on his pet rattlesnake, which had the run of the house. I did not stay long, because I hate snakes and wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
He died about 3 or 4 years later. Do I need to say it, snakebite?
What if it identifies as a poodle?
Don’t Hiss Off this snake.
As his neighbors read this: “Honey, could you please bring me the 12 gauge?”
IIRC, “Bring ‘em Back Alive” Frank Buck was hit in the eyes by one also.
Maybe he’ll find a mate and they’ll have lots of little spitting cobras.
I have been collecting Big game/explorer books for years but have never heard of Frank Buck. I’ll have to check him out.
I remember reading one or two of Buck’s books when I was kid 60 years ago.
Boy howdy, I sure got that one wrong!!!
Have asked mods to remove....sorry
I’ve read that if someone is hit with this venom to quickly wash out the eyes, and the most available fluid is usually ...urine.
Well, as what else other than a pet could you keep "this type of pet?"
“Don’t pet the bison”
Snake was captured Wednesday. Reporter was going to the home where it was last seen on Monday, and she spotted it on the porch, where it first had been located. Reporter alerted nearby police and animal control who eventually wrangled the critter.
The douchebag who own the venomous reptiles lives with his parents and keeps them in their basement. Strict rules apply to maintaining them, and he obviously has violated them. There are/were videos on TikTok & other platforms showing him handling the snakes, including allowing the zebra cobra to crawl outside in the grass and irritating it to show its hood. That video has been deleted.
The idiot should/must have all taken away. Terrorized a neighborhood for days. Also check the dirtbag’s social media and purchases. Wouldn’t be surprised he’s a mass shooter in waiting.
