    Are you taking the piss or did he die? Bit mad keeping that snake without anti venom in storage for a just in case moment! His in big trouble, apparently a really nasty potent venom. Good luck to him

    Totally illegal.

    This moron should be held liable for all associated healthcare costs and then prosecuted.

    I think it may actually be the first of its kind in this country?

    The anti venom for this snake is in short supply worldwide. So this plank is taking medication from parts of the world where the snake naturally lives and where attacks are more likely.

    The most surprising thing in that story is that we appear to have a National Reptile Zoo. Never heard of it until now.

    It's in Kilkenny. It's pretty cool. My kids loved it.
    They got to handle lizards and a small boa constrictor.

    Here’s to a not so positive outcome for the importer of this poisonous reptile. Or anyone who seeks to do likewise, we’ve enough snakes in the grass as it is

    It ain't, Ireland has no laws restricting the sale and ownership of venomous wildlife. Crazy but true

    There is nothing illegal about keeping any animal in Ireland. And what exactly should he be prosecuted for?

    He should be fined if he lives for wasting everyone's time importing anti-venom. The Brits would be right to refuse with Brexit.

    Surely if he lives, then he wasn’t wasting anyone’s time... because, you know - he’s alive.

    There should be, esp for dangerous and invasive species, legal system here is anything between 20-100 years behind everyone else.

    There is an eu law banning certain invasive animals and plants. Such as red eared sliders and yellow belly terrapins
    The Irish herpetological society has been calling for legislation similar to the DWAA in the UK since they where founded 15 years ago

    Wheres St.Patrick when you need him?

    I thought that the anti-venoms are created by milking the venom of snakes? Mind you I wouldnt fancy milking a snake that had already bitten someone.

    At least snakes don't pretend to be nice like humans do, they don't wrap themselves in a velvet glove like rancid humans do to appear sweet and caring to inflate their ego.

    Under no circumstances should such an animal be allowed to be kept as a pet. I'm genuinely staggered that this isn't illegal.

    What about other dangerous hobbies??
    Driving high powered sports bikes? Sky diving? Shooting? Smoking? Boxing/mma?
    Should they not be "allowed"?
