Truck Load of Venom

[SSSSnakes]

I got a call from an State Trooper that he was on his way to me with a truck full of venom. It turned out they rescued 8 venomous snakes and were headed my way with them. When they arrived they said there was one enclosure that they could not see the snake. It turned out that the snake must have escaped out the original location and was loose in the house. It was a Broad Eye Viper. There was no way it got loose in their truck, as they had duct taped the lid and taped cardboard over the screen tops to make sure nothoing escaped or no one got bit. Here is what I received.

Stunning animals Jerry that albino western diamondback is a real stunner!

[SnoopySnake]

Nice additions! I'd never keep hots but that dusty pygmy and the speckled rattler are stunning.:p

[alessia55]

Wow! I really like the looks of the Albino Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. So do you keep all of these permanently?

Yes, I will keep them. I did give the Cotton Mouth to a friend who has a venomous license.

Beautiful animals! You're really lucky that you got them free, and they are lucky that they found their way to you and are in good hands!

[Will0W783]

P.S. If you decide to part with any of them, let me know. ;)

You got it. You would be one of the few that I would feel confident to let have one.

I like the little speckled. I also thought it was funny that they are all using petco adverts as bedding. :-)

[Sublimeballs]

Cool collection of crotalids(and one true viper lol). What happend that they ended up with you? No permits( I'm guessing you're in a state that requires permits or license)? Whatever the case glad they ended up with you.


I really like the looks of the speckled. Makes me want to rethink my "I don't need another hot right now" mentality. Haha.

the dusky Pygmy just reminds me of yet another failure to see one in the wild yesterday herping.lol.

Cool snakes! That albino WD is awesome!

Free flyers make great bedding.

The father got cancer and the daughter took the snake and left them in here attic over the winter waiting for them to starve to death. They were taken away for cruelty to animals.



Some people suck

[Karighan]

Wow. Those are amazing specimens!

[millertime89]

Awesome animals. Glad they're at a good home.

[jpsteele80]

You hit a jackpot with that load :D

[snake_ghost]

Loving that gabby!! Some people are wrong and sick. Why on earth would you do something like that to Innocent animals for.

Thanks Jerry. :)
They are all beautiful animals and I'm very happy for you that you found them.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't we have a conversation about Mangrove Pit Vipers. This one was labeled a female.

[robertjnovak59]

Im not sure if I'd feel comfortable sleeping in a house with a loose venomous snake. Lol

I stay at my inlaw's home occasionally. Not so different.:eek:

[Will0W783]

Yes, I believe we did talk about mangrove pit vipers, Jerry. I was very lucky-the stunning male I had on breeding loan is now mine! His owner had to move to VA and couldn't keep him. One of my females is gravid by him; the other one I am not sure of yet.

[Will0W783]

Do you know if the albino WDB you got is male or female? I have a stunning albino WDB female; if yours is a male, I'd love to do a breeding loan or something.

I'll have to sex it and get back to you.
