Halloween Trick or Treat?

[adamanteus]

Certain Cobras 'seem' to protect their young for a short time....they certainly guard their eggs fiercely. I have experienced this first hand.

Rhea, Rattlers don't lay eggs, they're live-bearing.

I think (but don't really know) that young Rattlers may remain around the mother for protection, but this is merely a bi-product of the mother protecting herself, rather than any kind of maternal (or pedagogical, excellent word, Rich) instinct.

Thanks guys. The ability to use words like that cost me tens of thousands of dollars

James, did you ever keep pallida? I really like those things. If I didn't live in New Jersey and had adequate elapid training, I would have a colony of those guys to be reintroduced into their native New Jersey

Stefan, I remember something to that degree too.

Oops again
thanks for clearing that up
I read too much at once - it all gets jumbled up in my mind
