It's full of great information, funny stories and is over all a great read for anyone who is even remotley interested in the topic of Hot snakes or captive care of them.

Looks interesting, will have a read!

One thing, i don't understand why every one has a rod up their arse about calling venomous snakes, pets? I consider mine to be my pets. What are we supposed to say? They're our specimens?

The way i see it, they're in my house, under my care, they wouldn't be alive without me, therefore they are my pets. More importantly, who cares what you call them, as long as you're safe!
