jonny jones Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 How hard is it to get a licence to keep venomous snakes? I've been keeping reptiles and fish for over 25 years? Very Hard to get licence! But really depends on area you live (some of the councils are just after cash and others are No No at eney cost) my licence was £1000 and then every animal added was extra!! Also vet checked and fire and police checked! 1 Quote

gsexr Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Dont get the snake thing i`m afraid. I like to have something to cuddle and stroke without the thought that it may kill me if its having a bad day. Let alone the thought that it might get out. 1 Quote
jonny jones Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 thought you might like this Jonny http://9gag.com/gag/arpzvyV King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah) means snake eater! only eats other snakes in wild and the largest venomous snake in the world upto 18ft long!! Not the most deady snake as venom not as strong as most other cobras (but the amount it can deliver in one bite) can kill a elephant or 10+ people! yah whot indian and thai snake dancers do to snakes to stop them biteing is ( sow there lips up so cannot open mouth or De-Fang the snake!) looks good for the paying crowd thow buddy!

But really depends on area you live (some of the councils are just after cash and others are No No at eney cost) my licence was £1000 and then every animal added was extra!! Also vet checked and fire and police checked! Kind of thought this but thought I would ask! Always loved the gaboon viper (biggest fangs I believe ?) and also the diamond back rattle, but looked into licensing years ago and was a nightmare, I need a trip over to yours as your not far from me !

Meh - they're quite pretty - I even quite like the albino pythons (at a great distance) - just totally phobic of snakes really truly I know you guys love your reptiles as much as I love my pussy but maybe we can have a separate 'exotics' thread 1 Quote
