:? So...
I am curious if there are any hot snake keepers in this forum..??? so what is the deal with hot snakes? I must admit that I am intrigued with the concept of having something like an Eyelash viper but I would have to use common sense and say that I am not ready for anything like that yet - but it does make me interested that someday when I am more experienced in dealing with herp that I would like the challenge of a hot species. I have been working now and then at Repto-Mania and I am really getting used to dealing with some of the more irascible pythons...like the Bloods and Retics...so I would say that I am gaining experience with herps.

What is it like to have a hot snake? does it ever make you paranoid that it might escape? when you are performing cage maintenance and feeding does it ever seem like your number might come up some day and you may get bit? I have a great deal of experience with invertebrates and I used to work with giant Scolopendra centipedes and they have a truly nasty bite...send you right to the ER....I finally got out of that hobby as I felt like it was sort of like the odds were catching up with me you know???

What kind of permits are needed for a hot snake? what are the best species to start out with someday? Copperheads? Eyelash vipers? Black Mambas ????? hahahahahhahahahaha....just joking there....sheesh...
