Anton,
Great photos. You have some nice looking snakes there. Do you get called to remove them from houses/public areas?
If you have any pictures with a gabon viper, ringhal etc. I would love to see them also.

That tools handle is not nearly long enough in my mind!

Alright - here's my Stupid Question of the day.
How did those guys holding the mambas in their bare hands put the snakes down again - without getting bitten?
I know there's the old trick of putting the snake inside a bag by lowering its body first (into the bag).
But with a mamba involved, you've still got the risk of it striking your hand - as you release its head.
So how did they do that???
thanks,
Upepo

Anton, you make a great point, all creatures have a chance to make a living. By going out of our way to kill or rid a creature off the planet says something about ourselves.

I also agree with Anton s point of view, I have encountered snakes on country roads a few times, and stopped to let them cross in peace.

With me I just handed him back to the Tanzanian that handed him to me. There was a miscommunication, I asked if his venom sacks had been removed and was assured that they were. Later, while I was holding the snake, I was told that nothing had been done to the venom sacks, he was just a nice nyoka that didn't bite.

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
