Eastern Diamondback Rattler's

If you "understand" the consequences of freehandling too well (because you've been bitten before), then why do you continue to engage in such reckless, dangerous behavior?

It really saddens me that this forum has come to this- I used to be impressed by the other keepers on here and enjoy coming to the forum to learn/share knowledge/chat with others. There is not a large venomous community on this forum, but if the general consensus of the other hots keepers on here is that freehandling is ok, then I do not wish to associate myself with them. I just hope that your showboating doesn't result in any other keepers getting themselves killed......
