Hate snakes!

Ugh!

Copperheads and rattlers here!

Cobras are one of the scariest and most evil looking.

According to Google, a newly hatched King Cobra's venom is as potent as an adult's.

Um, no thank you to handling a “cute” baby snake.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The baby king cobras, with an average length of 45 to 55 cm (18 to 22 in), have venom which is as potent as that of the adults. They may be brightly marked, but these colors often fade as they mature. They are alert and nervous, being highly aggressive if disturbed.”

KING COBRA BITES

The king cobra bite is the most powerful bite in kilograms per square inch of bite pressure – of any venomous snake in the world. This was tested by Luke Yeomans in the United Kingdom before he passed away – of king cobra bite and envenomation.

I asked a group of venomous snake experts, “What would you do in case of a king cobra bite?”

Their answer was unanimously – “get the snake off me as fast as possible.”

The king cobra is one of few snakes in the world which can kill you in just a matter of minutes as the volume of venom injected completely knocks out the diaphragm and heart muscle – essentially paralyzing them. Death follows quickly in this case. This has happened in a number of cases over the past few years as people interact more closely with king cobras – insisting on holding them without restraining the head.

Just wait for it’s first bite on that hand.

One morning, the neighbor drove up honking and hollering for us to come see in the bed of his pickup. He’d shot a rattlesnake and things suddenly hit his face. Turns out the snake was giving birth and it was about a dozen baby rattlers flying up onto him.

The only good rattlesnake is a fried one.
