i didnt handle him for 3 weeks and my brother is a lil showoff those two things dont mix but i hope to get a gaboon viper one day
I hope you're not serious. Getting bit by a sidewinder is nothing compared to a Gaboon viper bite. Gaboon vipers are extremely fast when they want to be - please don't let your bro near any more snakes!
 
i used too... had a gaboon and a few other hot snakes.... ill never do it again... not worth the risk to me anymore...

Did you have a close call or something Nic that made you reassess. Just wondering why someone would keep them and then decide not too...?

If you are living in your parents house and have brought in a rattler, they are not going to be pleased, I'd be angry as hell if my hypothetical son did that and I am a big fan of venomous.

i had a few close strikes... i always had 2 other people with me when ever a snake had to be moved.... i just kinda realised its not worth the risk anymore...
