if i had the guts.....
if i had the guts to own ( or it was legal to own some of these) a venomous snake, i would definately be interestedin owning a black mamba, those things are so gorgeous, scary, but gorgeous, i was born in south africa and when i was little i used to go to my grampas farm every christmas and once we found one in the house, i was scared , but somehow strangely attracted to it.....pretty how the entire inside of their mouths are completely black... second choice would be the gaboon viper, any snake with a cool little horn is cool in my book! how bout you guys?

Re: if i had the guts.....
Well, my dream is to own a zoo some day, and I'd probably start with only reptiles in it. I have a list of venomous herps that I'd like to be in it (30 something I think.. maybe more now I don't know lol)
bitis gabonica and bitis nasicornis are my favorite hots.

As far as mambas go, the west african green is hard to beat cool factor-wise. Hairy bush vipers are another favorite. I could go on. lol

Re: 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

Re: if i had the guts.....
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.

Re: if i had the guts.....
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 badass looking snake ive seen!!
