Venomous Category?

[freakoverdose1]

Was just wondering why we don't haev a venomous category in the forum?

It'd be somewhat pointless. Sure, it'd be great, but in all seriousness only a small percentage of members actually keep hots. When the demand is high enough I'll add one.

Okay I love snakes and think they are amazing but hots scare the feces out of me.

Actually I was doing some research on Venomous snakes the other day and found out that they are not deadly all of the time. Most of the time they will be dry bites. But if you wanna tangle with a Mamba, that is a whole other story!

just a thought...thats all

[JamminJonah]

do you keep hots freakover? Ever been bit or anything? Are all bites venemous?

[freakoverdose1]

i myself don't keep hots, YET...I am building housing for them now and getting supplies ready. Ive been bit by copperheads, thats about it. Osage and broadband. I didn't react the first time. The second time my whole arm, shoulder and back swoll up. I was a hunchback for about a week and sore. But i didn't lose a finger like some whove been bit by copperheads. ABout all bites being venomous, im not sure

sweet man, keep me posted on progress I'm very interested - they just freak me out because of the whole poison thing haha. Glad you didn't loose a finger, typing would likely be difficult

[freakoverdose1]

haahahaha, your right, very difficult. I will definitly keep you posted. Thats what i am starting out with is two copperhead yearlings. Then maybe move up to a rattler of some sort. Easterndiamondback maybe. Eventually i would love to get a mojave sidewinder.
