  • sorry my ignorance but what is KRZ?

  • @RocknRollHammerHead Kentucky Reptile Zoo

  • the cobra at 1:55 or so, had some very beautiful markings, it almost look piebald, was it?

  • No, its not piebald, though looking at it again I can see why you thought it might be. This species is very speckly- they have lots of lighter and darker speckles throughout the body. Its hard to see in the light of this video, but what is showing up are some of the lighter splotches.

  • did he lose his finger from a bite or just a bad accident?

  • Index finger lost to a weight bench.

  • It amazes me with a snake that such a nasty reputation as the Egyptian Cobra, how reluctant they seem to bite down.

  • @kyreptilezoo either way, its a very good looking snake, egyptians are probably my favorite african Naja, but coral cobras take non-true cobra,

  • Never in a million years could I do what you do. This must be some sort of calling that people get to handle such venomous creatures. I would imagine that the compensation for doing this would surprise us. Excellent work you do there every day. 5 stars!!!!

  • o man yeah i know a few people that happined too
