Kentucky Reptile Zoo is wrong for that.
No they’re aren’t. It’s their property and he is a moron that brought it on himself. Their own safety is more important than his, specially considering how reckless he’s is. That guy has no business keeping animals of any sort or being a teacher with his social media posts
It wrong all day long.
I got a snake like that in my pants.
KRZ is not wrong for that. It’s wrong for people to expect them to expend such resources for childish, reckless behavior that EVERYONE knows is ‘when not if’ behavior.
You go jump off a cliff don’t complain when the ground hurts.
It’s wrong for the zoo to let a man die when they could save his life.
false dichotomy logical fallacy.
I don’t agree for two reasons: first, the priority for antivenin should be the saving of a current bite victim, not saving it for a future one. Second—and I’ll admit this is speculation on my part—I’d be willing to bet that if the victim was a relative of the KRZ “expert”, that antivenin would be sent without a single pang of regret.
I am sorry, but I disagree with you. Those gloves are horrible because you don’t have much feeling in them, and snakes don’t mind warm hand at all. Free handling captive snakes is OK, it’s sometimes the preferred method provided you are experienced, familiar with the particular snake you’re handling, be able to read the snake’s body language and don’t do it on a bad day. However, I would never support free handling of wild snakes.
No, they are not wrong. You want to be fool enough to keep and handle the most venomous snake on the planet without proper first aid snake bite kit, anti-venom on hand or an agreement from a zoo to acquire it if bitten, then you can’t expect to be bailed out if things go sideways. Typical yank entitlement.
Free handling venomous snakes is intentionally putting yourself at an entirely unnecessary risk of an immediate envenomation. It is like playing Russian roulette. Free handlers post their reckless, narcissistic stunts solely to bring attention themselves. Sadly, this then encourages other people to mimic these stupid antics. Responsible venomous reptile owners learn protocols used to protect themselves from being bitten. Responsible venomous owners have antivenom to protect themselves in the event of an accident. People who intentionally play Russian roulette with venomous snakes are a cancer upon the community of responsible reptile owners. We have seen that the result of free handlers being bit has been legislation that even bans possession of nonvenomous reptiles due to irrational fear of snakes in general. Free handling venomous snakes does not prove your toughness, just your stupidity. If you want to prove your toughness, you can participate in some competitive sports activity.

I watch a lot of venomous reptile handlers on YouTube. This guy takes free handling to another level. He made a video showing where you can touch the snake according to the position of the snake. He only had a matter of time before he got bit and it came across in his videos loud and clear. I don’t blame the zoo for not giving thier stash to him. For one, it’s extremely expensive but this guy has been very lucky it took him this long to get bit.

LOL LOL we have plenty of deadly animals in Australia, I live in the bush and have a healthy respect for them, snakes, spiders, crocs and Roos can give you a bit of whato too when cranky etc, if you don’t it can go south very quickly, just like with this peanut…..
I got bit by an Adder here in the UK. It was horrible. This US geezer free handling his pet Taipan is a moron. He will know that now. I was in Alice Springs when I heard about this dude from a snake ‘expert’ at some tourist snake and croc spot in the town and he thought the guy was a moron as well. If an Australian thinks you’re a moron, you got nowhere to go.
