I have a Tiger snake and a white lipped snake (mildly venemous).
I used to have RBB's in my younger days.
I'm glad you refered to them as venemous.I really dislike the slang word "hots".Sort of terminology I associate with "cowboy" herpers.

i have some desert death adders/collett's pending (pending as in not while ur under my roof)... damn parents *shakes fist*

cheers, jono

Hots is better than poisonous.

 

[africancichlidau]

I don't keep poisonous hots

 

[kevyn]

I keep Western Pacific Rattlesnakes, Wagler's Temple Vipers, and some Mangrov Snakes and some Monocle Cobras on the way.

 

[Greebo]

Damn you and your beautiful snakes Kevyn!!

 

[Tommo]

kevyn, are you trying to make us jelous?

 

[kevyn]

No just answering a question. Greebo's got a Tigersnake. I'd love to have a Tiger Snake.

I don't own any as yet. In 6 months I'll take delivery of some Red Bellies, Tigers, King Browns and Inland Taipans.

Sxereturn,
Don't go like a bull out a gate. Just because you will be licenced to keep them doesn't mean you should straight away. Just keep in mind how many times you have been nailed by your carpets?????? You can get away with from them but if you slip with venomous,,, well I don't need to tell you the consiquences. It is good to see people keen to expand their collections but with time comes experience. I got rid of mine a fair while ago just because I felt like I was becoming conplacent and before you think to yourself that you wouldn't, Just remember like I mentioned earlier how many times have your carpets got you??????

 

[sxereturn]

Check out my photos man - I'm not diving in the deep end, I'm getting experience with them before I do.

Anf the whoe carpet python thing...everyone gets nailed by them because they know it's just a bit of blood.

 

[cwarren72]

Good to see. I am not bagging here I would just hate to see anyone get bitten by being to eager that's all. You made it sound like you were going out and getting heaps of venomous as soon as you could. Not that I care in the long run just trying to offer a frindly bit of advice.

 

[sxereturn]

Yeah I totally agree. If you know anyone with Red Bellies for sale, let me know.

 

[kevyn]

Talk about being too eager, I've got a guy here that has never owned or handled a hot in his life, and wants me to sell him a monocle cobra. That's just crazy. Sxereturn has the right idea.

After the BTS today I wouldn't mind getting one. But they are hardly hot, slightly tepid.
And there are red-bellies hatchlings for sale at the herp shop $40.

 

[kevyn]

Sorry Fuscus but what is a BTS?

 

[Fuscus]

Brown tree Snake Boiga irregularis

 

[kevyn]

Gotcha, thanks Fuscus.
