You have owned hot snakes? Cool! We had a reptile store that carried and bred 6-7 different morphs of ball pythons, leopard geckos, corns, and a bunch of different monitors frogs turtles boas and basically any reptile, as well as prairie dogs. They had a closed of room of a bunch of different hot snakes. Good priced too. Unfortunately they closed down with a bunch of police tape. We suspect they were drug carters. Sigh. Nothing good ever lasts.

Yep. Reptiles, and snakes were among my favorite things as a boy. After hundreds of bites from non-venomous snakes (mostly black rats, which frequented my Dad's gamefowl pens), he taught me to catch and handle venomous snakes. I've kept, and been bitten by, reptiles from all over the world, lol. I've only taken one hit from a hot, a cottonmouth, and I never saw it until after I had been bitten.

Balls are among my favorite snakes. I've had several. Now, the morphs are inexpensive, so you're not stuck with just the normals.

I like bigger snakes as well, but have never owned anything more than 10 ft. Milks are fun and easy to breed. I've hatched a lot of them in a Hovabator.

This was the last hot I kept, a beautiful 4.5 ft Timber male. He became so docile I had to watch myself around him to not get careless. A bite would have been devastating. He never tried to bite, and even got to where he no longer rattled.

Edit: Disclaimer- I don't advise anyone to handle venomous snakes without adequate knowledge and training. I've had years of experience, and even then have had many close calls. They're best left alone if you don't know what you're doing.

Ummm no thanks! I love to look at the Rattlers from a safe distance. Almost got bit by a Pygmy last year.

This little girl is 6 weeks old. Mixed color hen covered by my Silver Duckwing cockerel. I think she is looking lovely!
I might just have to keep her.
