Some Like It Hot

[Wiggles92]

I would not play. It is too risky. stuff like that can wipe off one's entire collection, as you know Ryan.

Yes, I realize that if it is a virus or other disease, then the whole collection could get wiped out. However, until I determine that's the case (barring any decline in health), it will get a chance at life as everything else in the shipment should show symptoms soon since they were all in the same shipping crate after all not to mention they all came from the same seller. All the new ones are separate from my personal collection as well, so there's no issues there either.

Also, the seller issued me a refund for it as they said they sometimes have babies that turn out that way.

at least that was a seller worthy of his profession.

Good job.

West African Gaboon Viper (Bitis rhinoceros)


Monocle Cobra (Naja kaouthia)

Ya, I did move kind of fast to this point, but the Bitis & monocle cobra are for resale; the only Elapids I feel comfortable with keeping long-term at this point are coral cobras (Aspidelaps) and coral snakes.

Great collection, stay safe.

Thanks.

Thanks. There's no chance of legally getting hots where you are, though, though; Ohio is one of the worst places for exotic animal keepers to live now.

The best way that I can put it is that it was cheaper than if I had drove to Hamburg and bought them all. Besides, it actually would've cost me more if I had bought fewer snakes than this.

Also, I would prefer that no one contact me about sales or anything like that; I'm not shipping anything, and I'm not selling to inexperienced keepers.
