Does anyone keep this?

yeah, but not the current partners, i find most women have never really been into any kind of reptiles -lol

i suppose a venemous reptile isn't something you could really lie about either...

 

[---XR---]

well, wouldn't be the first time something of that nature may have been slightly tweeked in terms of the truth for me.

i have read that for many venoumous reptiles in different states here, if there not illegal, than you need permit's to keep them.

same here. I guess if you want to do it, you'll do it. Money is usually the problem over here... expensive permit, expensive vet fees, expensive public liability ensurance... incase your snake escapes wanders down the road and bites someone.

Isn't the rule with keeping venoumous go something like "it's not if you get bit by your snake, it's when".

Either way I've always wanted a Gaboon Viper. They're awesome looking snakes. Plus, I believe they have the longest fangs of any snake too.

i'm not sure if i prefer the western rhino more though. They are one of the last things i'd want to be bitten by. They are fantastic snakes i agree, but really not a great snake to start with. I don't know I know of plenty of keepers that have never been bitten. A lot of people have been bitten by their own doings, and most will admit that. Of course there are always accidents, they aren't pets.

Yeah I highly doubt that I will ever own a poisonus snake.
