Don't try this at home

[Born_To_Lose]

Here's one seriously insane snake handler, looks like a Cobra to me. Another "don't try this at home...or anywhere else!"

Looks kind of like an Indigo snake. I don’t think it’s poisonous, but it is an apex predator.

Crazy
This size I can handle. This was behind our shed just the other day.

I’m guessing Garter Snake.

@Born_To_Lose, he deserves all the money he can make doing that job. Someone has to collect the venom for serums to help those who are bitten by them. I don't have problem with snakes, but then my area isn't known for venomous ones. I'll pass on that job.

At one time there was a serpentarium in Florida who used to milk their snakes for antivenom. I'm taking guess they probably still do this.

Yes! There are quite a few of them around here but they don’t scare me. The probably startle me more than scare me.

You should see him handle his snakes. You have to be a little whack-whack to do that job. When he gets the cobras out, we put on safety glasses so if it spits, the venom won’t get into our eyes. I held a Black Mamba once for about 3 minutes and when I put it away, I thought I should go change my underwear.

With that throat area fanned out like a hood...

I can see your point, but the shape of the head and the size kind of reminds me of an Indigo. They eat small mammals, frogs, turtles and even small gators. If he had the mouth open, we would both know. Seeing the vipers would tell the tale.

Pffft. looks about half grown... but probably good eating.
We probably ate his great grand daddy.

Don't try this at home....without an axe!

During the annual hunt, Florida pays $25 per foot for any Pythons captured. This snake would bring about $516.

When I was a boy in India, many years ago, all the snake charmers,
had cobras, maybe the cobra, is docile until it gets upset, or maybe
the fangs were removed, I heard that they did that too.

I don't know if there are still snake charmers, today.

Since it was captured in Florida, it should have read 20½ feet. Now that is gigantic!

Don' try this at home??
No problem, after just seeing the damn thing, I'd be 40 miles away by now.
