if i had the guts.....

I am in love with gaboon vipers. I just think their coloration is awesome. I would never want to own one per se, but if I could, and had the facilities/abilities, that'd be it. I am also fascinated by Eastern doamondbacks, since they are so rare in this state, and actually native to my home land!

I love gaboons and rinocerious (sp?) vipers. If I get the job I want then ill get to work with all sorst of hots. I just hope I get it, the owner said he is keeping me in mind for the spring. Heres their site www.rfadventures.com

I love the way gabby's look, but even if I were to work with hots, I don't think I'd feel comfortable working with a hot snake as large as a gabby.

Give me a nice bright yellow eyelash viper though...

I woudln't mind some of the rattlesnakes as well.

I admit though, if I were going to own hots, I'd probably stick to something fairly native and try my best to keep a good supply of antivenom on hand.

Coral snakes are really nice too, although I understand the venom is pretty potent stuff.

Correct me if Im wrong, but I once saw in the Discovery Channel that the black mamba is one/or the only snake that wont just attack you for self defence, I saw that it actually chases you.
My fav has to be the King Cobra, thats got to be the meanest:mad: badass:cool: looking snake ive seen!!

It will. It will chase you down and is so fast............ I knew kings could get big, but until going to the breeder's and seeing his monacled and his 18+ foot king, I didn't know they'd get THAT HUGE!!! :omfg:

I grew up with diamondbacks in E. Oregon, and my prof had that and a sidewinder. It was small, but it was sooooo cool when it moved and squiggled...lol
