My two favorite hots.......

nope these are not mine (although I would love having them). These belong to Rainforest Adventures Reptile Zoo. I guess they had the gabby in quarentine (as ive seen it in the back room) before they put it out for display.

One of my favorite snakes.:)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the second one is a Eyelash Viper?

Very very good looking.

Im sure it does, then again im not about to go stick my hand in there and find out.:)

Gorgeous shots, Aric!! I adore Gaboons! They evoke such a strange mix of emotions in me every time I see them....they're the only snake that makes me seriously want to cuddle them, while at the same time, that thrill of sheer terror at the thought of those fangs and venom! Fabulous animals!!!

(and just for the record, I would NEVER dream of free-handling a gaboon, much less actually cuddling! LOL)

Thanks Judy, I know what you mean, everytime I seeone, I get this feeling like a 10 year old kid on a candy store and want to hold them. Then I relize the thought of 2" fangs in my skin and venom being pumped into my body, makes me want to use a BIG LONG hook to hold them instead of my bare hands.

Based on those pictures, I think I like the colors on the gaboon better than the rhino. The patterns on both is amazing to me!


My favorite hot has always been the king cobra though - there's just something about their intelligent looking eyes that just speaks to me!
