I have a ton of ‘not ball pythons’ and I thought it would be nice to start a thread where I can show them off and have an open discussion about my collection. I’ll try to do a weekly update, at least until I’ve covered all of them. Here’s some to kick it off.
He’s a cool animal. I got him as an adult from a friend and thought he’s never be a handler he was so defensive. Once he got used to me, we’re buds and there’s no more threat display or bluff striking lol.
Definitely would be a dream to have one because they are so beautiful and can be tracked. Just a little bit big for a “starter” venomous lol. I would only have one. One is enough.
Between size and venom yield, I definitely wouldn’t say they’re a starter venomous. They can be pretty good at just melting off the hook too. Speckled rattlesnakes stay a more manageable size and ride the hook better.
They’re my favorite hands down. They’re so variable it’s crazy. If you want to go down a rabbit hole do a little googling. The white ones are a particular favorite of mine.
Awesome and enviable collection. I honestly can’t even pick a favorite. The rattlers are super neat. Though I’m too nervous to keep venomous (aside from rear fanged/non medically significant varieties)
Love the carpets and the garters and the king snakes. Darn it I love them all! Only problem with reptiles is you can’t have them all!
