Genuinely don't get people who keep cobras as pets. Private venomous snakekeeping is stupid to begin with if you aren't rich enough to afford the years of training and the antivenom, but out of all the deadly snakes that can kill you, why the neurotic anxiety ropes with the potent neurotoxin that is constantly on edge. Just go to the zoo and hang out in the reptile room for hours like what normal people do

(This goes triple for mambas, especially black mambas, which are even Worse)

#just to be clear my blanket rule is that venomous snake keeping is unethical #with it becoming 'more reasonable' if its a native species where theres. actually fucking antivenom. but even then #idgaf about the stupid factor so much as I care about the fact that that is an exotic animal that you gotta care for #who gonna give that cobra that thinks everything is gonna kill it proper vet care #bc unless you're very well trained it sure as fuck aint smart to do it yourself
