Ok, so i'm in a little of a pickle.
I recently traded for a few snakes and i was expecting three. Well, the guy had a friend who sold the one snake (Het for ghost ball) that he was going to give me. Since he couldn't give me that snake he gave me a pygmy rattler instead. Now, i don't know a lot about venemous (other than it's venemous NOT poisonous ) but it's really the only hot (other than a gaboon or a rhino viper) that i really liked. It has a beautiful grey with a nice orange/pink color in the middle. Typical pygmy.
Now my question is, as someone who is not a vetran with boids (only been keeping for a year and a half but I still have 11 snakes), is not fully un-knowlegable, doesn't do stupid things (Eat out of my hand snakie!), and really does care for snakes, would it be completely wrong for me to want to try to keep this lil girl? As far as rattlers go, she is a princess. He was free-handling her (yes, he was) with gloves on and she was as tame as a ball python, except with venom and fangs that'll hurt.
Do you personally think that it's an easy snake to care for? Would you recommend me keeping it, since it's in my possession and making a point to learn more about the venemous world or do you think i should find a new home for it or give it back?
Any advice would be awesome and appreciated, thank you!
