I can't wait until I can own some hots. I set myself my own rules and one of those rules are no hots until my kids move out. I have at least 7 more years. Vipers are awesome. They are what I plan on getting into once my kids have moved out. I might also get a cobra or two...or three as well. But there are so many awesome vipers, I don't know if I will ever get around to getting a cobra.


Very nice vipers you have. The first has great Christmas colors, but I love the bright yellowish green of the second one.

If you want any hots, you may want to get them sooner than later. there is a really good chance they will be illegal in 7 years. there is so much pressure on hot herps nd laws are being passed in so many states so quickly. its getting harder and harder to get hots.

I am very jealous. Those are some beautiful vipers! The two exact species I was hoping to get one day. Did you get them at a reptile expo? If so, which state?

Very beautifull Venustus.
Sadly I can not have such gorgeous species due to laws in AZ.I can only have Crotalids(rattlers) that are native to AZ.

Holy cow!! You have some guts. I would never get up the nerve to own the hot snakes or even most the hot arachnids. :eek:

You have any feeding videos of your snakes?

Ah. I had a feeling it was too beautiful to be a non-venomous snake. One question. What who a bite from a snake like that do to a human adult?

Almost makes me want to get into hots.

I'll have my hands too full with retics/scrubs in the next couple years when they are all 15'+



Hots just arent worth the risk to me, but god damn I love looking them. (Extremely minimal risk if handled properly but always there.)

Suh-weeet! Those are some beautiful vipers. I'll probably never have the balls to keep hot herps (or the time/room to keep regular herps for that matter) but I'm just fascinated with how cool these fangey lil suckers are.

Thanks for sharing!

Stunning, but scary at the same time. I'd definitely be fascinated to stare if they were secured behind glass.

thanks everybody. these are my absolute favorite species of snake. the venustus are really nice because they will only get around 24 inches and have a low toxicity. the insularis on the other hand can get around 36 inches or more and i have heard they have very toxic venom.

Those are amazing. If didn't live were I do. I'd consider getting a few of the local hots. As it is I can only look on with envy. :worship:
