    The best tool for owning hots is fear. Fear makes you careful. Just like owning guns. You have to respect what they are. At a time i had over 50 venomous animals. Not a big collection but a good collection. I loved working with them but the risk outweighed the reward so i got out of them.

    My favorite, I miss the 2 I had. Had to get rid of them when I went into the military. Been thinking of getting a couple more sometime soon.

    I absolutely love gaboon vipers! One of my favorites and if it wasnt for my lack of experience and knowledge of hots i would have one already. awesome picks.

    Great pics! They are fascinating, but no hots for me.

    I think gaboons are one of the most beautiful snakes on earth. I've never seen baby pictures and these are just adorable. I would never keep hots or work with them,but I sure can appreciate them. Thanks for posting!

    Yup. Great to look at in other people's collections, but no hots for me either. I kept a couple Crotalus viridis when I was younger and dumber. They were neat, but like others have said, the risks outweigh the rewards for me.

    Gaboons definitely rank right up there with my favorite hots. I love their massive, over sized heads and chunky bodies. They are almost comical looking. B. nasicornis are neat as well and are very similar to B. gabonica. I know its an old post, but thanks for sharing!

    Cute Gaboon! One of my favorite snakes. As they get older, to me anyway, they get better and better looking. They look so sinister and the fangs are some of the largest in the snake kingdom.
