Thank you so much for your comment – it is very nice to hear of your involvement in such a worthwhile project. Please update me when you have a chance, I have not worked with king cobras in the wild.

Have you done any work around nests? I am very interested to hear your thoughts on whether or not males stay in the vicinity of the nest.

Please give my regards to Rom if you happen to be in touch – I missed him his last few times in NYC.

Good luck with your work, Frank

The bigger males were so easy with humans all around them, they were never disturbed by human presence, this really fascinated me, never expected snakes to be like this. I totally agree with your words saying
