Getting to know you....

[Vibe-Feeler]

Yeah, with that Cobra head, I was afraid they'd be able to spit - like they aren't already deadly enough, they have the power to spit too!

And they are also known to play dead by laying on their backs if something gets too close or touches it, it lashes out to bite.

Are people bitten all the time? I mean like, is it just so common it's not even on the news?

Since Michael appears to lack understanding that this thread is to GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER, I will assist him by telling you he is one of the podcasters who has his show listed here in our Podcast section of the forum.

I'm not a podcaster, I host a call in show and also produce a show on terrestrial radio. If anyone is in the Austin Texas market............ 89.1 FM

Pardon me. Since you leave your PODCAST format here, I was negligent in my description of you.

Not really, they're not confrontational snakes like the black mamba. The rinkhals will try to avoid humans if possible, but when it rears itself up people generally bolt in the opposite direction immediately.

Adding a tad to my own bio here, I was trained in ballet and jazz and danced a bit in my youth, play(ed) flute and guitar, was a hippie who lived briefly in a commune, and have a secret love of folk music...although rock and roll is still high on my list. Anyone have any secret talents out there?

I have a collection of guitars but don't play very much at all anymore. I do paint quite a bit. Mostly though just playing around, not a professional artist whatsoever. Love old music from the transition of folk to rock, the old Dylan, Joplin era..... if you like folk music you may like Audra Mae, some of her stuff is very riminisent of that style.
