Glad to see that iam not alone, has been a passion of mine for many years , kept my first venomous when i was a teenager, that has been many moons ago. I dont intend to downgrade anyone but what is everyones take on the post about freehandling, seems like accident waiting to happen. :usa:

[sean0101]

i have a couple

[ThemandUs]

do you venemous owners own any non-venemous? it seems that most people i've talked to that own hots just don't like non-venemous.

[sSNAKESs.com]

I keep only a few hots now adays. The majority of my collection consists of colubrids with a few boids thrown in.

[redcarpet]

I have both,and enjoy them all.

[sean0101]

i only have a couple hots rest of my collection is made up of large pythons and a couple monitors

[lepidus741]

ThemandUs. I do keep non venomous buy my passion is Hots.:)

[Rob Olivier]

I keep both venomous and non-venomous snakes. I like my rattlers the most, but not because they are venomous.

[lepidus741]

Rob, I also have rattlers, Atrox, Lepidus and Viridis they all have personiality, somthing that my non venomous do not seem to have, dont get me wrong i like my non but i can put 2 atrox together and they each will have a different personiality. I like that.:D

[cottonmouth89]

I keep a Copperhead.

[cottonmouth89]

Oh Chuck that copperhead I got at the April Show is one of the most aggresive snakes I own. Every second he wants to get me.

[Gregg M]

I keep the three big members of the bitis family..... Gaboons, rhinos, and puff adders..... As for non hots, I keep and breed high end leopard geckos..... Urban Gecko line....

[lepidus741]

Cottonmouth89, Copperheads are great, i like Trans-Pecos Copperheads (A.C.Pictigaster) and Broadband Copperheads( A.C.Lacticinctus).:)

[lepidus741]

GreggM, thoes gabbies are neat, like the criptic pattern.:D

[SCReptiles]

i have both, i love pine snakes.

[lepidus741]

SCR, All are neat snakes

[thunder]

i am not primarily a hot keeper. all of my collection is non-venemous except for my pair of durissus, which were my first hots some years back, and are my only. i dont have the energy for more than one pair of hots.

[Mustangrde1]

one or two :w

[lepidus741]

Thunder, C Durissus have a rep for standing their ground, even more so than C Atrox, i can see why you would have only energy for the one pair, a friend of mine has a pair, he really has to keep both eyes on them when he is feeding or doing cage work.:sun:

[lepidus741]

Mustangrdel, what species ? :)

[Mustangrde1]

Naja naja,
Naja Kaouthia,
Naja nubia,
Naja mozambica,
Naja pallida,
Naja haje,
Dendroaspis angusticeps,
Micrurus fulvius,
Crotalus adamenteus,
Crotalus atrox,
Sistrurus miliarius b,

Trimeresurus popeorum,

[lepidus741]

Mustangrdel, one or two! some intresting species, never kept naja.Hear that they are really a inqusitive and bold species.

[Mustangrde1]

LOL like i said one or two and naja's arnt that bad alot of spirit for certain though

[thunder]

lepidus: my male is fairly defensive, but my female actually rides the hook like a doll, not the usual for the species.

[lepidus741]

thunder, i just love the Crotalus species, they have a lot of personiality from individual to individual, my male C. atrox is really low keyed, but my female is always geared up and ready to go.:usa:
