It seemed that the guy who was 'biten' was under the influence of drugs at the moment of testing and tried to get some money out if it. Further more I heard several stories of the 'biten' guy who should be a pathological liar..
I haven´t terrariums...
very interesting! I just read the Naja history and thought it was true. I could´t think in sick people... Thank you very much!

I always think in this. But all the gloves break with the flippinmg activity. So I don´t recommend to use them for flipping. I used them just when you are in viper habitat (a wall) and you need to catch them quickly. But many times I find something to flip! And it´s bad to change the gloves in everymoment so finally I use in my left arm the venom deffender glove and in the right arm a normal glove. So if a viper moves quickly I can catch it with my left hand and use the right arm just to help in the capture. And in "normal activity" I flip things with my right arm, and if something appear (maybe a viper or a scoprion) I can catch it with my protected harm.
