I truly appreciate all your input.
In April I will be working with a local guy with 30 years of experience who primarily deals with indigenous N. American crotalus and elapids.
I asked him about Bitis but he wanted to wait until we finished the apprenticeship. While I understand his apprehension, I just wanted to do some research. Owning a hot is not something I take lightly. I just wanted to see what suggestions you all had to share.
FWIW, Most of my BP's were acquired after doing extensive research on the breeders.
I just wanted as much time as possible to do the same for the gaboon, I thought this forum would be a reliable place to turn to.![]()
