I was thinking the same question.

On another note: Chuck, We must be more alike than we think. Everytime I click on a topic in any of the forums i go to here, you posted. LOL Maybe the same keywords just get our attention Like, oh, I dont know, anything related to hots

i had a feeling you two would post. this will be my first experience with hots. i am going to ask alot of questions, observe and take notes to prevent accidents. i am looking forward to this and future hot experiences, but do not plan on keeping them. this thing is public, so i think there will be little chance of anything going wrong. -jacob

Oh my, I believe I missed a male bonding experience between Chuck and Brian, I feel like that old environmental commercial where the indian is looking at the river full of garbage with a little tear in the corner of his eye

Hey Jacob, have fun on the outing and be safe. It is becoming a rare thing to witness reptiles in there natural surroundings so bring back picks for those of us who are at home cleaning cages.

Sounds like the guides will be pulling out the snakes. In this sue happy society we live in, they probably will not let you work any of the hots, but if they do listen well to what they tell you and be safe. If they have a copper out in the open and a set of 40 inch hooks, it’s a very limited risk and valuable experience. A bit of nostalgia, my first ever hot was a dark phase timber rattler collected in VA. They have some very nice specimens there.

I hope u have lots of fun!!! if you have never messed with any wild snakes at all be carefull. but i am shure with 40" hook and tongs u will be fine. and scince you have a good oprotunity be shure to pay close attention to the snakes reaction to you. so nexed time you go u will be that much more excperanced and the nexed time you will be more experanced and so on. and before u know it u will be the ones grabbing out snakes for the guides . well any way be safe and HAVE FUN!!!
