...is my favorite night of the week. At 8 months old, most of these little tykes are really starting to attack their prey with gusto, and it's just a joy to watch. Here's 8 of them in action. Enjoy.

THE LOOK IN THEIR EYE'S :shocked::shocked::shocked: is amazing,such evil looking guys,but a beautiful evil (if that makes sense)

you can sense/see,the danger/damage, these wee guy's are capable of

i personally would NOT keep hots,due to NOT trusting myself,to stick to the proper protocol,when dealing with them,i'd most likely get tagged due to making a mistake,i just DON'T trust my hap hazard ways,enough to keep those guys

hots are some of the best looking and most interesting snakes,i've EVER seen.....

their eyes,head shape (especially vipers),the sense of menace in their body posture and eyes,also knowing of the sheer lethality their venom possess...

^^^^^
imo the above...

makes hots,some of the best looking and scientifically important creatures on this planet

i have the utmost respect,for people who work with and keep hots

thanks for sharing mate

i look forward to the updates,as these beauties grow ;)

cheers shaun

Great shots! Those teeth are intense, I feel funny saying that since they are eating pinkies though. Still intense no matter how big they are.

Glad you all enjoyed the photos:) They do look sort of viscious while they're feeding...lol.

I may be a bit biased, but I agree with you, Shaun. Most of the best looking snakes in the world are venomous, especially the viperids. From the fangs, to the thermal pits, their amazing camouflage, and their lightning fast strikes; they are the pinnacle of snake evolution.
