Any Crotalus horridus Keepers?
Once in a while I start tossing around the idea of keeping a venomous snake. In Alabama, we're restricted to only keeping native hots, oddly enough. Weird how the laws are all over the place on this issue, depending on where you live. But, anyway, that limits me to Timbers, eastern diamondbacks, pygmies, copperheads, and cottonmouths. I've always loved timber rattlers. I think my favorite herp find and photo of all time was a gorgeous light-phase timber I came across a few years ago. I've always thought about what a beautiful display snake they'd make.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them? I understand the risks, and this may be something I never follow through with because of that. But, I do love them.
Photos and stories welcome!
