Oh the pain! I can feel the poison pumping through my body.

Okay maybe not, but it's my first bite from a royal, if I can even call it that, was so pathetic I'm tempted to take her out her viv and make her do it again properly this time.

Although I am a little confused as to why she felt the need to bite me, it was a daytime handling session instead of night which is my most logical guess but she was okay all the time she was being handled she just bit me when I stood up with her to put her back in her viv, although I noticed she was a bit nervous again when I was handling her.

Will she always be a bit of a coward or will she eventually learn to be handled at regular intervals?

She was probably just fast asleep.

Right on, BE!

He was probably having a dream where he is this giant King Cobra chasing after a tiger who threatened his Cobra family. So, when you got up, it was the exact same moment the tiger leapt at him so he delivered his nasty Cobra venom-filled bite and release action...

You woke him up, so now he's disappointed at you.
