Interesting channel featuring the Cobra catcher in the Philippines.
I read somewhere that the Philippine Cobra has the most potent venom of the Cobra species?
He catches King Cobras as well.

 
A recent hunt in Namibia was rife with a Striped cobra called a Zebra snake, had a few in camp and a killed horse also. They had Jack russels that were good snake dogs. Allowed one of these dogs to sleep in my bed.
 
When I saw title “Cobra In The Toilet” thought of the story IIRC Capstick? used to tell about a spider in an outhouse. In an effort to get rid of the spider, he burned down the outhouse. :) :)

Have seen cobras along with a few mambas and vipers in Africa but never a cobra in the Philippines. Nor have I run across a sea snake in the Philippines…. and thanks but no thanks! Closest to getting bit by a venomous snake there was by an arboreal viper. Was walking through thick vegetation to a river swimming area and “bumped” into one. They are green and perfectly camo’d. They remind me of a thick-bodied boomslang.

I know a Filipino family on Bohol island who lost their grandfather to the bite of a King Cobra. Crossed paths with it in the dark.
Being it was in the province, and quite a ways to a hospital, and availability of anti venom, the poor old guy never stood a chance

Understandable. :( No quick way from Bohol to hospital in Cebu that might have ability to treat such a bite. Same situation throughout Philippines.

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.
