Re: Introducing little Misty!
She actually eats a whole mouse pinky just fine. I pick the smaller pinks for her- but she will grow quickly. We've had Goblin for almost a year and he is now eating mouse hoppers. He was her size when we got him.

Re: Introducing little Misty!
Such a great looking little snake...
Is that a "bite proof" glove??

Their bites respond well to Polyvalent Crotaline Antivenom (Cro-Fab and the like), so there's good treatment, but I still wouldn't want to get hit.
They are cute little buggers though, and they stay cute- they look adorable even as adults. Pudgy cheeks and little eyelash-type scales. They look like little divas....and they act like it too! :-O

im assuming you'd have to keep all antivenoms for the kinds of snakes you have in your house at all times, yes?
I have far too much fun handling my snake, i'd get killed with a HOT lol

No, very few hots keepers will keep their own anti-venin for various reasons. I don't think Kim does either.

Re: Introducing little Misty!
Wayne, those are Hexarmor Venom Defender gloves. They are needlestick and puncture resistant down to a 25-gauge fineness. They are also tear and rip resistant. While they are not 100%, they are extremely good thick gloves and Misty's fangs are too small to get through the layers anyway.
I do not stock my own antivenin. I cannot get permits to keep it in stock privately, and if I could it would end up costing me about $10-20k for one bite's worth. Antivenin only keeps for about 2-3 years, so as long as my husbandry is good and I am careful, I should be better off not spending the money on it.
