I'd advise against it, not just because they're hot, but because apparently albino cobras are showing serious signs of inbreeding depression. Many have asymmetric hoods, most are blind, and you cane bet they'll have reduced life expectancy.
Mokele, want and thinking of buying one are two different things. There are a lot of venomous snake I would love to have, but I like breathing way more then I want a venomous snake. I catch them in the wild, take pics but having one living in my house is a different story. One day when I have to correct setup for a hot snake I may reconcider, but as of now it's not even a consideration.
He was talking about an epoisode of the tv show South Park. They had a mexican staring frog that was from sri lanka. Everybody is so jumping about April and I have no idea why. Is there something hapening then that I don't know about?
Hans: They're real, I know someone with an adult (a rescued animal, which is where I heard about the problems these animals are having due to inbreeding). It's just a regular albino, something that crops up in lots of animals.
they are baby albino monacled cobras................quite common but like Mokele said generally quite inbred though some breeders do out cross them fairly often. beautiful snnakes but ill take an osage copperhead or gabbon viper anyday as far as looks
Gram-for-gram, as deadly or moreso. Obviously as babies, they produce smaller amounts and can't inject it as effectively due to smaller fangs. However, in many venomous snake species, the babies actually have more potent venom precisely to make up for this. Not that cobra venom isn't potent enough.
Venom is highly variable. It can vary between evolutionary lineages, species, populations, regions, family lines, siblings, even with an animal's age (as above, plus some species who have different prey when older shift their venom accordingly).
