All these are things you should be familiar with doing yourself before attempting to own these animals...

Statements like that don't do anything positive for me. Get over it. I've already explained the situation countless times in previous threads. I've been searching for near 2 years and finally found a vet to even treat them, which I hadn't planned on doing. No one around here is willing to teach, probably not even the vet. This isn't South Carolina, some of us don't have the luxury of a state so comfortable with hots.

Im not trying to do anything positive for you... There isn't a licensed vet who will treat any venomous snakes within a 125 mile radius of me. The situation is, you own an animal you can not provide for fully. I am not concerned with your safety only the safety of your crotalus. If you can not do something as simple as sex a snake, then what will you do when more complex problems arise? No one is responsible for your venomous animals but you, not a vet not anyone else, you took on the massive responsibility of ownership. Having to rely on a vet you have no personal relationship with to treat venomous animals is nothing short of irresponsible. There are no "luxuries" here, theirs just a right and wrong way of going about things. Their are multiple really well thought out reasons why more than likely no one you dont already know is going to teach you how to work with venomous snakes.
