What the temperment of the Bothriechies schlegelii like?
Ever try and steal a hook or anything?
I've been looking into getting one for quite a while, or a nice Cerastes Cerastes(Not Crotalus Cerastes even though I'm interested in them as well)

 
Amazing snakes :) but not for me:grinno: However wouldnt mind having a gila or beaded pair one day. I dont think I could sleep knowing that under the same roof I had one of thouse:D Dont need thouse, plenty of diferent and safer reptiles in my wish list: water dragons, sailfin dragons, Anolis allisoni, rhinocerus igs, etc.;)

I keep him around 79 degrees, but I keep his humidity higher than the others. He is laid back, but his feeding response is crazy, he will always meet me half way when I introduce food in the cage.

What humidity % are you keeping him at?
I read 60% was good.

Have you worked with hots before? If not, I HIGHLY recommend not starting with a Monocled cobra. I've worked with them and they are very aggressive, lightning fast, not to mention, very toxic.

Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus are actually quite common and inexpensive, but very aggressive. But they are predictable and easy to work with.

I would love a Zhaoermia mangshanensis but I've never seen one avaliable and im sure it would cost in the upper 4 digits.

I have worked with hots before, yes. The pair I'm getting, I'm getting from the person that hatched them out. I have complete history, attitude (great hooders but not big on striking) and they're both juveniles...18" - 20". Neither will be handled, until they are much larger.
