I agree with you all. There are around 300, 000 venomous snake bites every year and EVERY one of them is the human's fault.

I've met guys who "brag" about getting bitten by this or that as if it is a badge of honor.

This is stupid !!!

I've only worked with venomous snkes for 5 years and i still get an adrenaline buzz when i am working with them. I was holding a 80cm Boomslang with 2 tongs recently for a TV program. The girl who was standing in front of the camera was really eye candy and, despite this, i had my eyes on the snake every moment. When i was done, i very carefully placed him back in his cage and sighed with relief.

A "Great snake handler" is someone who understands how dangerous a venomous snake is and respects its ability to deliver a potentially deadly bite in the blink of an eye. To quote one of my favorite movie charachters: "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero" Sooner or later, you will make a mistake. How long that timeline is, depends on how seriously you understand the snake and how much respect you give it.

They look like AWB or neo-Nazi's. Maybe the force of ET is still with them.

It can't be AWB's or Neo-Nazi's, cause no self respecting Neo-Nazi will wear a shirt of "dirty" latinos like the dude in the first pick! Selfs al is WWE die ware Jakoppie!

So these are the before picks, wonder how long it is going to take for the after pics to come in?

Only if you also have "veld skoene" on as well, or maybe strops and socks...

I'm new to the site,but WOW I could not believe people do this in the trade! They must test your IQ before the let you work with venomous snakes,maybe for some of these okes even a IQ test on non venomous stuff aswell!

Reading this from Start to finish has been the longest Hour of my life. Khakis.....the Type of clothing I despise above all. Is it just me but are all of the Major Freehandlers (Tm) Farmers? Just me? Seriously not cool freehandling venomous animals. There is no excuse and if you don't have the right equipment then either leave them alone or get rid of them before you endanger yourself or those around you.

Question: Isn't it a requirement when owning Venomous Snakes, that you need the right equipment i.e Hooks, Grabbing Sticks and secure cage?

[Hantam]

Not all of us khaki and vellies wearing farmers are idiots and handle venomous like these guys. We actually do use the right equipment. Unfortunately we all have some idiots in the family whether we like it or not . All I can say is eish eish what the hel where you thinking.
