Racers & Brown Snakes

[Muslim1]

Yep. I think I was 17 I kept a Western Coachwhip and when I turned 18 I got a Gabby. I would put a post it on its cage (Coachwhip) every time it bit me that would say (you could be dead). Great training snake.

Anyone I train for venomous has to go months freely handling Racers, Coachwhips, Rock Python and my Water snake without getting bit, before they can even touch a venomous snake. I use the same thought process as you, if they get bit, they could be dead. If during that time they get bit, they have to start the training all over. The Water snake is the one that normally gets them. It is fast, aggressive and short, making it very hard to handle. If anyone is interested, they can see one of my students training. Go to my website Home - Snakeman's Snake Shows and click on the "Snake Clips" tab, then watch Tyler's Venomous Training parts 1 &2. Part 3 will be added on 6/30 were he handles only venomous snakes.
