I have a question and I, in no way what-so-ever mean any disrespect in any way, shape, or form. I'm just curious...
So, I've only been a snake owner for about 4-5 months. I myself got a ball python. I was a little afraid of snakes before, but have come to admire them a great deal. In researching, and trying to learn as much about them as I can, I've come across hots being discussed on several occaisions. While I personally find some of them absolutely and amazingly awe inspiring (I'm a fan of bush vipers and diamond back rattlesnakes), I don't believe I could ever own one. I don't feel I know enough about them that I could feel safe around them. I'm happy to look at them on youtube or maybe in a cage as I pass by.
As I said above, I mean no disprespect for those of you who have or have had hots. My question is, what got you started with them? Is the danger appealing, or is it just the appeal to the type of animal? I like a snake that I can take out and handle when I want to. I don't know that you can get that with a hot... not without hooks anyways...
I'm just curious and would love to hear "why", if that is something anyone would feel comfortable sharing.
