Re: Cleaning day pics
It's that most people get a venomous snake for the wrong reason. I've read people wanting to get one to get it docile like a BP or a Boa, and it's not gonna happen and in the 0.00001% event that it would, you still don't want to handle anything venomous without the proper precautions. People will get venomous species because they're portrayed on Animal Planet & National Geographic, and they're told they're aggressive or really hot and people jump into it. For instance I want a cobra, I don't plan on geting one anytime soon because I have no experience in dealing with them, the only venomous species i've dealt with are copperheads/cottonmouths/rattlers that a friend useto keep. Cobras are smart, and evasive and a lot of the time like the guy somewhere in this thread stated, you have to tail them, even while having them hooked. I don't even have my permit right now because I have no intention on getting anything venomous anytime soon. When the time comes, and I do get my permit, I won't get a cobra, but I will probably get a Rhino Viper, or a Desert Horned Viper, because I have experience with rattlers, after keeping 1 of those 2 species for awhile, then I would step up to a cobra.

Re: Cleaning day pics
I think rhino vipers are alot more of a handful then cobras. Using two hooks works great handling cobras. its also nice to have a spare hook right there with you just in case.

I haven't seen many rhino vipers, but the ones I did see, I thought were easier then the cobras I seen handled. Out of the 3, I know a Desert Horned Viper would be the easiest, I just don't want to deal with sand.

Re: Cleaning day pics
Yea, sand is evil, i gashed my finger wide open from having to clean sand when I had my kenyan sand boa. I was trying to scrub stuck sand off and the tank(10 gal) went to slip out my hand and i grabbed really quick and the corner just sliced my finger open. Never again. Aspen is my new sand, if it can't live in aspen or something besides sand, i'm not getting it.
