Dear All, I would like to thank everybody for their kind words and best wishes following my close encounter with Sleeping Beauty the king cobra. I obviously cannot answer all the many posts, comments and private messages individually so I am posting this single response here.
I am very well thank you, I was discharged from hospital the morning after the incident where upon I returned to the Park, but I am now at home. I am not experiencing any further effects from the venom and did not require any antivenom.
Since WMSP has now initiated an investigation into how it happened I have been asked not to give any further media interviews or details of the incident here on Facebook. Therefore I will sadly be unable to respond to any posts or comments asking me how the incident occurred, so please respect this by not asking questions I cannot answer here.
For those who asked, Sleeping Beauty is also fine, she did eat her two rats and is now sleeping blissfully.
Once again, thank you so much for all your support.
Kindest regards, Mark
