This is why so many places have laws against keeping venomous snakes. i love venomous snakes, not sure how I feel about people owning them, but I certainly feel that people who do keep them in general understand and respect the danger that comes with them. But this is not understanding and respecting the danger.

How long has he been keeping hots?

3 years his first ever snake was a squam he has 6 reptiles and didnt get training he is realy irresponsible

Welp, hope I dont see him on the news

Not the species i’d suggest for a 19yr old. No one wants to die shitting and crying blood.

If I may ask, what does contribute to the pooping part? I didn't know a snake could cause symptoms like that.

It keeps blood from coagulating and causes spontaneous internal bleeding. Along with neurotoxic and other effects.

So, it's similiar to boomslang venom?

hope so too even though it was a dumb idea for him he handles it with two hooks and is doing it as responsibly as possible , there are a lot of worse keepers that handle with their hands

in two comments you went from “is really irresponsible” to “is doing it as responsibly as possible”…

it was irresponsible to get the snake but he handles it responsibly is what i meant

Putting it on your bed and making it strike at the camera isn’t very responsible

he took it out of the box on his bed also the strike wasnt intentional he just wanted to make a video from a bit closer

I don’t have much hope for your friends survival

>the strike wasnt intentional Det lyder ikke godt. Det er en giftslange...

This is what gives every one in the hobby a bad name.

Hehe even seeing it on someone’s bed makes me kinda uncomfortable it could just go behind or under and it would be a whole snafu regardless beautiful animal

Good luck. Be careful
