    Is "hots" an acronym?

    Great lookin snake. Power to ya
    You can keep venomous in a rack - though I would strongly advise against it. Many people do it though. I just prefer to be able to ensure they are locked and I can see them anytime I do an enclosure check. Some states require you use locked enclosures - and do not consider racks secure enough to meet their requirements.

    hot just refers to it being a venomous snake. Not entirely sure of the origin, though I'd imagine it comes from the description of a bite since it "feels like a hot knife being stabbed into your body"

    Hot usually is a term to describe an object that has a dangerous element inside it (just like saying that snake is hot because it's venomous.) A few examples from the construction world: If an item tested positive for asbestos we call that item hot. We also use that term for electrical items if the juice is turned on (it's either live or hot)

    He's a pretty guy. I like your locked enclosure and your protective measures. I personally wouldn't own a hot, but I do love seeing them in the hands of responsible owners!

    Yes. We follow the strictest protocols. Use shift boxes. PPE that seems excessive. Locks. More locks lol

    I love the picture where it's hooded, very pretty animal indeed. I don't think I'd ever own any hot species. I have thought about getting a yellow phase eyelash viper one day but the whole idea is just far too intimidating for me.

    Trying to get better hood shots. He still has some growing to do! So looking forward to that. He just dropped his skin last night with a perfect shed. So I'll take him out this evening for some photos and then give him some food as a reward.
