Favorite hot ( To own, not in general)

Hey guys, just wondering what type(s) of hot yall like best to keep/want to keep? How many/how long have you had it? Anything in particular you would like to share about it? What was its temperment and what made it a pleasure to work with?

I my self do ever think I'll own a hot although I would love a copperhead in the distant future.

Hot owners or VERY seirous future hot owners only please! Pics very much welcome!

My favorite is a Russells Viper. I like them because they are very beautiful. They are aggressive but tame down to a degree. Rodents die super fast. I have had Russells for 3 years. I also like Blacktailed rattlers. They are super nice and make great displays with there yellow colors. Gaboons and Rhinos are just awesome as well.

Dan

cobras. They are always moving around. And they have a feeding response to die for.

My favorite are the eyelash vipers and other arboreals. I like some of the smaller species of Crotalids also. Here are a few shoots of some of my favorites in the collection. Hope everyone can get their venom fix for the week.

Matt

Nice snakes!

Hands down i love Gabbons. i know they don't move around like other snakes but any one who's ever seen one on the move and dancing up on the glass of there cage i think would agree that are one awsome snake.

Venomous snakes are always the coolest looking snakes.

Gaboons by far! They are fat beautiful & lazy. My idea of the perfect pet.. MASSIVE FREQUENT YAWNS, showing off those huge fangs.. Stuff that sends chills up & down:D

Brings a whole new light to the bedtime prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray like hell those lids stay shut tonight. If my snakes get out to eat, please dont let me be their tasty treat~:please:

Mangshan's Vipers and Gaboon Vipers are, IMO arguably two of the most beautiful venomous snakes in the world. And if, one day, I feel I am ready to accept the responsibility of owning hot animals, those two would be definites. I am serious about one day owning hot animals, but I am also smart enough to admit that I am not at this moment ready and I'm not going to rush to say I will be and when I will. But if I ever am, those two would definitely be in my collection.

good one lol

I loved my yellow eyelash... I was absolutely broken hearted having to part with her... Maybe one day I will again live outside New Mexico so I can have another

No question. Only snake in the world that I just HAVE to have around. So beautiful and so much personality. They've been my ultimate fascination since I was about 5 years old.

so true! :D

i'm not, nor will i ever really be, into hots so i'll answer this hypothetically...
if i ever had the cajones to own a hot it would hands down without a doubt have to be one of these...

For me it should be Gaboon viper

Gaboon rhino crosses are hot

I would have to say eastern diamondbacks, just one beautiful snake. And the albinos are SICK.
