I was at a petshop near where I stay that I go to as a last resort for rats. So I see their enclosures looking like hell as usual, with wires running through their Iguana cage and the poor thing half choking itself. An exposed heating pad in their Indochinese Spitting Cobra tank so I offer assistance and asked that they lend me their tongs or a hookstick and a tub and I'll move their spitter so they can fix that heating pad before the snake gets stuck on it. So dumb and dumber that are left running the shop (The woman in charge didn't even know what the BIG Whitelips they have in the shop were until we mentioned them in conversation) obviously knew more than me and told me it hasn't happened yet so they dont need my help thanks.
So anyways, ok fine I try to calm down and ask the guy working there why they dont bloody well fix it themselves then? So he started telling me about how he will ''never ever no more!'' touch another snake again because he was bitten by a Copperhead in December and the pain was unbearable and he would rather have had it kill him than for him to go through that pain! Something to think about before getting one of these, as some are very placid while others are on tik. And they are fast when they're young!
In regards to the wiki extract, how do they measure its potency by using mice?
