Which do you prefer snake wise?

Ja, thanks!
All the preparation for a spitting snake can be interesting, about where you put air vents, a face mask to protect your eyes etcOtherwse you end up should the venom hit your eyes

I saw a thing on tv about mole snakes , this bloke in S.A moves them off peoples property for free he said they wouldnt pay for the service they would just kill them...lovely snakes.

There are much more peeps doing that here than you think Tilly, only we are not restricted to mole snakes, theres cape Cobras, Puff Adders and loads others, and we dont charge a fee, fuel time etc are for our account, but at the rate the petrol price is increasing, the guys are going to be forced to ask for a donation towards petrol.

I think all my snakes are Awesome, and there are pleanty on snakes I want.
But I just couldn't stop thinking about getting a Burmese. The voices kept telling me to get one, I was breaking out in cold sweats... lol.
Now I got my Albino Burm, I have become rather obbsessed with him.

Hahaha I fully understand your obsession.

mmm...well the horned desert viper is pretty cool, but impractical
albino sand boa would be nice as sand boas are funny little things...brb as they are so beautiful-but probably a flying snake-they are awesome

ASM, why not the Viper? they are absolutely stunning! i wouldnt mind a Puff Adder, but they are so aggressive, I think the Gaboon Viper is a better Option, get you one of those! Im sure by next year I will have a Gaboon or two!

Ohhhhh I'd love a gaboon viper.

Can you not get them there?

Yes if you hold a DWA license.
I was once asked to take one in as a rescue but I couldn't with not being licensed. Had to pass his details onto a friend.

Thats a bummer, really you have to appreciate and respect those fangs! its an awsome snake!

Ok so Ive got them here, the most adorable little Rinkhals you can imagine! all legal eagle on permit etc! Sometimes its hard to believe these adorable babies are deadly.

I will allow them to settle in a bit, and then take some pics later. You almost want to lean over and give them a smooch on the .......Hang on, am I thinking! put the lid back slowly Bogga!

Hahahaha

i own the snake i prefer the most... the Mangrove snake. i got one as soon as it came off the DWA. he is a beautiful 4ft snake who i only see at the dead of night.

OK, so I put them in their new tank, I cut the astroturf incorrectly so Im gonna have to do it this evening again. They are the clamest snakes you can imagine, I only got hooded at about 3 times,and no spitting, one can ALMOST believe you can freehandle them, dont worry guys I never freehandle Hot snakes. Anyway pics

Bogga they are gorgeous!
