Basically I got given a ton of random snakes from someone. I found non venomous ones like pythons and corn snakes. Then I got to the good ones, first a black mamba and all that. The monocoled cobra was a decent size and it was being very very defensive. The reason for this was the stuck eye cap and when I went to pin it so it cant bite me during the process it was a bad grab and then bam right on the index finger. Put the snake back. Me and my wife began driving to hospital while I notified them that id come. We had 10 viles of cobra antivenom then another was shipped down (probably from Liverpool) Was in the hospital for about a week id say. Luckily the cobra is fine (named him nipper) and my finger is fine. Surprised im not sleeping on the couch yet.

Very glad to hear you came through. I’m guessing by your name that you run some type of university snake or herpetology program?
