#2. The house contains 15 King Cobras and 10 Black Mambas

I guess it depends on how big the house is. Maybe if its the size of a walmart Id go in but otherwise hell no. Id go in if it was just the King Cobras tho

The snakes won't attack you unless provoked, so I'd go in and safely and slowly walk around looking for the money in an obvious place. I wouldn't risk looking for the money in places where I can't see whether or not a snake was in there, dark spaces etc. If I couldn't find the money in 5 minutes, I'd leave.

Another loophole- I can't bring any weapons with me, but I bet I could find a broom or something in the house I could use as a snake stick.

Imagine opening up a random door and this fricker is staring you down and all you have is a dusty broom



King cobras are fricking huge

Can I wait until it's below freezing outside for a couple of days first?

If not, you're gonna have to come up off that $10k number. At least throw in medical on top cause $10k won't cover antivenom and an airlift.

Could I bring a torch and light the place on fire.

That is the only way I go in there is after it burns down.

The a bank only needs half the currency to be traded in.

$10,000 is not worth all of that. Add at least one more zero to that figure and then we'll talk.

don't know if true and don't won't to find out but I've read in numerous places that they have to assume that position to strike and they're a bit clumsy in that position(no kickstand,) might be able to knock it over with the broom to buy you some time

Might as well pose the dilemma as choosing between banging an OT10 or $10k

I’m going with $10k because the pleasure would last longer.

As to the original premise, yes. I like my chances.

So what I'm hearing is I'm making protective gear and weapons from what's in the house

Good point. Also they are probably even more clumsy in a house with wooden floors as opposed to a soft jungle environment. Maybe a knock down the stair case or something but as thick as they are I don’t know

Now, those spitting cobras would present some real problems.

Maybe. Cobras and black mambas are natural predators. I wait for them to kill each other and then could take my chances with the last one standing. Might need a little more money in the pot.

Eh cobras probably win out decisively.
