KenDidd Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks Charlie but id like to catch this one myself, ive only killed small ones before and the thought of killing a 2m whopper then riding around the village on my honda wave waving it around my head and yelping like a rabid dog is quite enchanting.

JusMe Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If you're so intent on killing it, make it a fair fight and go after it with your bare hands. However, far better to catch it alive (or find someone local who can do it for you) and then release it somewhere in the wild. And don't smash the eggs - think of the advantage if someone had smashed yours a long time ago. If you do find them, simply remove them to somewhere forested.

KenDidd Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Someone did, and as for bare hands, no way, this is a 2m cobra that wouldnt be a fair fight, they have venom and if that bites me im dead. Im going in fully armed, machette, catapuilt and cast net. I live in the jungle, you have to keep yourself protected from the dangers here you know, the eggs must be smashed.

Thats what they do up here, im only trying to fit in. "up here" ? and where exactly is "up here" ? your attitude toward the snake is hardly "humane" and you seem to be exaggerating things somewhat. Unless you or members of your family are in immediate danger there is no need to harm the snake. Edited August 29, 2015 by RolandRat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenDidd Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 The buggers at the back of my house, i see it regular, what would you do then just let it be? these things are killers, and when the eggs hatch who knows what could happen. Like they say, when in Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredLee Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If you want to kill it yourself, then kill it yourself. Figure it out, shouldn't be too difficult. If not, tell a local Thai neighbor. They will kill it and eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenDidd Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks for the reply's. My plan for a dusk attack does'nt seem like such a good idea now, ive had a quick poke around in the giant bamboo where i think its hiding out and realised that if i came face to face with the beast in there i may be on to a hiding. The wifes had a word with some of the local lads and they are in there now, ill leave it to them as they look to be having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenDidd Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 The one i see is a dark olive green, its a cobra for sure as it reared up as i rode past on mt bike 2 days ago. It crosses the road at the back of our house at dusk from the bamboo heading into the jungle, must be going hunting. Im quite sure its nest is in the bamboo. Anyone know what kind? Is it a spitter?
