I am not one to post a huge lecture, its why my post was very short. I read it summed up quite well once before in another similar post. People with HOT experience are very blunt and to the point for a VERY good reason, they know it takes ONE and i stress ONE single mistake to end your life. I mentioned a mentor for more reasons then i think your being cocky. Handleing a HOT is the last thing that should be on your mind. Cageing should probably be number one. How would you house one? What cage system, does it have spots the snake can hide from and surprise you?Can if be opened with a hook?Does it lock? Cleaning the cage? Feeding? All of these processes are just as dangerous if done incorrectly, some to others should the snake escape or someone open a cage with no lock thinking something harmless is inside. The first thing you need to realize when getting into hots is a mentor isnt there to hold your hand and be your mommy or daddy, they are there to give oyu tips and advice on how to safely approach the subject of HOTS in all aspects. Your obviously going to get into HOTS reguardless of our opinions and advice, and i am not against that, i simply want you to go about it in the safest way possible for yourself and hope to give you some food for thought on the process. I really wish you luck in your adventures.
