Jul 6, 2008 - does the snake have to be a certain age to do this, i know its not advised to do it to a hatch ling but is there a certain age, I've had my corn for about 2 years now and i don't know the sex :(, awesome t-shirt by the way :D

viperkeeper Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Yes, it's best not done on a small, young specimen.

Jul 6, 2008 - how many permits do you need to have these kinda of snakes and do you use them for educational purposes

viperkeeper Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Depends where you live. Yes, this channel is here for educational purposes.

mambamartin Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Heyas Al. Great video, as all the rest I have watched :)Just some terrarium info. Your Black Mamba will be happier with something to climb on. They are less terrestrial than most commonly believed. It makes handling him tougher, but then again, its not a snake that should be handled too often :)
