Bushmasters
I have *NO* plans or intentions of keeping any venomous snake, lizard, or otherwise, and certainly not one of these babies but I came across the site while researching for a story and thought you guys might find it interesting.
A Bushmaster Breeder
I know he says on there that they have an undeserved reputation but... what a reputation it is! They're probably the most intimidating snakes I've ever seen. Big, venomous, with an oddly smug smile. Like they think your very presence is amusing. Gotta love how huge the baby's head is though. All the better to eat you with, my dear?

Re: Bushmasters
It's like how I love barn owls. I adore them, admire them, but I don't plan to try and keep any as a pet. I think white tigers are cool too, but I'm not taking any home!
My favorite hots are oddballs, but here's a few I consider to be real beauties (Bushmasters are cool, but I'm more than where they're concerned, lol)
Banded Rock Rattlesnake
Two-Lined Forest Pitviper
Fonseca's Lancehead
Bothrops Pulcher

Re: Bushmasters
Bushmasters are lovely.. the largest pit viper in the world, and one of south america's most dangerous snakes. I don't plan on owning any hots personally, but I DO plan on owning a reptile zoo which will include many of the most beautiful.
If you want to see some beautiful hots.. try googling:
bitis parviocula
bitis cornuta
blue coral snake (hard to find good pics of this one)
bothrops alternatus
hairy bush viper
trimeresurus (the whole genus is very cool)
puff adder
rhinoceros viper
russells viper
zhaoermia mangshanensis
Wow, ok I guess I'm in a sharing mood right now.. lol.
Oh, and it's good you don't want a pet barn owl because it's illegal unless you're a licensed falconer, and owls make poor falconry birds at that!

Re: Bushmasters
The bushmaster is the only snake I ever saw that Jeff Corwin was afraid to handle. I have seen him handle all sorts of dangerous snakes from fer-de-lances to African Rock Pythons, but he absolutely said he was not going to tangle with an adult bushmaster.
Hot snakes are best admired from a distance I believe.

Re: Bushmasters
Bushmaster=Uberscary. I don't blame em!
Shelby, those are all gorgeous but bothrops alternatus specifically completely took my breath away. Wow! Just... Wow! It looks like it belongs coiled on a cathedral or something!
And yeah, no owls for me. I'd love to volunteer at a raptor center someday though. Barn owls are my fave, but I adore all kinds of owls. Saw whets are adorable, but my second fave has to be burrowing owls. Because they look like adorable tiny feathered mafia hitmen. I even did a random venting photoshop piece using them as minions... lessee where did I put that... Ah! Here it is. If I could have an army of minions, they would be at the top of my list. Although bushmasters would be the smarter super-villain move...

Re: Bushmasters
Did you guys see that episode of austin stevens on discovery channel when he was in search of the bushmaster. It was funny, the local indian tribe helped him find one. You should have seen the look on the indians faces when he was trying to pick up the snake.
