Thing about getting the native or like a rattle snake, is I really don't like the species, so I honestly wouldn't want to waste the money, then have to find somewhere to ship them to when they get older and such. When i'm ready though my first will be either the Saw Scaled or Desert Horned. Then down the line, months after that will be a Cobra, because I know how sneaky the Cobras can be. Out of the 3, Desert Horned isn't as mean, and it's the least potent.

Boomers can be real tough to handle. They are fast and can ride a hook up onto your arm before you can fart in protest.

What locale of dispholidus do your friends breed? There is a noticeable variability in the locales - including venom potency.
