Buce Posted 17 February 2014 Posted 17 February 2014 Stop this rattle , you're all just talking mamba-jumbo now ! I think I saw Les Fer-de-Lance in Moccasins the other day buying Kelloggs Cornsnakes . +1 rep (tile)
glenny_fox Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 I guess he adder bit of a shock... Not only that, I'm guessing he had a king brown in his trousers after it.
AndWhat? Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 Good. 1 less ignorance preaching nut in the world.
cambridgefox Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 Going back to the article, one of the replies said snakes were not poisoness but venomous which means a bite affects the blood so cannot be re moved. I a;so checked the links and there are some crazy movver ****ers out there. One paster passed around stricken and coke bottles with wicks to burn the ,skin. I think the difference berween a poisonous snake and venomous snake just means that poisonous snakes can't be eaten as meat. There are only a very few poisonous snakes but lots of venomous ones ( I think most venomous snakes are not poisonous and are still edible ) . check with an expert before you decide to eat a snake though sensible for me as I am a snake geek.Venom is injected into the bloodstream eg fangs.Poison is ingested eg plants.poison arrow/ dart frogs( no teeth) however the latter isn't poisonous at all in captivity.go on ask me why?

I would guess that they get their poison from their diet/environment, something not available to them in captivity?

Buce Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 Correct boy wonder! Diet. Fascinating. What is it that they eat? How come they are immune to the poison?
cambridgefox Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 Fascinating. What is it that they eat? How come they are immune to the poison? I think they produce a chemical reaction after eating certain plants and insects,and different species of frogs can produce stronger poisons than others.Snakes are my thing but a guy in the local pet shop that has a huge range of weird critters told me about the frogs after I asked him if you needed a licence to keep them.He has some horrible spiders there that freak me a bit.
