in my dealings, i was not as concerned with the gaboon strike as i was the rhino vipers, university of penn, which i lived fairly close to at the time had all the anti-venom i needed for all the others except rhino's. then looking further into it, the fines, and medical costs would have killed me just as fast.Originally Posted by zeion97
A little lesson from Steve Irwin... Never trust a hot... or a Croc..lol
Hots aren't like other snakes... Facing down a king cobra.. Now that is something I wish to only do with glass in the way.. it really does get your adrenaline flowing.
MY turning point with hots (deciding NOT to get one...) was not only starting a family, but have a Gaboon viper take a bite at me... THAT scared me..
