Foolish people handling wild rattlers...

P.S. since I'm sure you'll look at this again. Kim how's the abolabris doing?

I agree, I have nothing but respect for hot Keepers that do it right. They know that all it takes is one little mistake or lapse and envenomation can occur. I get to enjoy looking at all the beautiful hot snakes because of you guys!

Sublimeballs, the albolabris started eating scented live pinkies and was eating them weekly. After she ate 5 meals like that, I was offered a puff adder and included the albolabris in the trade, so I no longer have her. She was a neat snake, I just decided that I needed to cut down on the number of species I'm going to keep right now. I've got too little space to keep everything, much as I might like to, lol. Thank you so much for all your help though; she was looking fabulous and eating well when she went to her new home!
