17' King Cobra

You need to check out Chandlers Wildlife on YouTube.

He had a pretty good size King named Kevin
 
Would love to see a really large one in the wild. Visited the Kentucky Reptile Zoo in Slade, they had a couple pretty big ones. Impressive reptiles!
 
Austin Texas - I was in a Lowe’s home improvement store in 2015 when they announced of the intercom that a Cobra was loose in the store…. Not kidding!

The Cobra struck and killed its owner in the parking lot and escaped….

 
Whoa... that's a big boy, there. At the end of the video, they pull a second, "smaller" one from the same place; it's only about 5'. Both cobras seem remarkably calm for being messed with. I doubt a big mamba would be so chill...

I have seen a very large one at Corbett National Park in India. There seems to be to be quite a few of them.

Together with an Indian partner from a town bordering Corbett NP we offer Corbett NP tours plus 'man-eater tours‘. In other words we visit the places where Jim Corbett had killed man-eating tigers and leopards. Last time we went to Mohan and Rudraprayag. Unforgetable adventures.
 
Nope no way nope

A friend of mine has a 10 foot female in El Paso.

His house scares the absolute shit out of me.

He has spitting cobras as well, gaboon viper, Gila monsters amongst others.

As you might imagine, he fits the bill of someone that you would imagine when you think of a guy that has venomous reptiles.

Swinger couple, with an extra wife. I think it is something like 15 AMC Gremlins in various states of repair in his front yard. Fun guy.
 
I don't really hate snakes, I hate snake people. The snake can't help that its venomous, but the snake wranglers really f' with them and antagonize them way more than necessary. Minimum movements required to secure and remove from human settlements please.
 
I had a friend that had a cape cobra and a pair of gaboon vipers. The cobra was a crafty SOB, it would escape its tank every now and again. This guy was a paraplegic so he would call me to catch the damn thing and put it up.
The last time it escaped I chased it into his attic and couldn’t find it. That night we had an exceptional cold snap and I found it a month later frozen to death thank god.
The gaboons just laid there like slugs but I would’ve loved to have one of those things mounted. Ran into a wild gaboon in Mozambique and we just allowed it to go on his way as we went ours.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
