1000 for each of the 4 groups of venomous. So if you want a cobra you need 1000 hours working with elapids. For a viper, another 1000 hours. 500 is still going to take most people a few years. I think that shows a significant commitment to be safe.
Totally. The way I learned got me to the right place but involved a lot more risk than it would have if I had today me standing in the wings to advise me.

We have copperheads everywhere here. When i go to Old Stone Fort State Park I see them on the trails and babies in trees every time I go. But, I have no desire to have one. Very pretty though.

I agree . I went to a zoo in florida years ago and I saw a yellowish green viper, i think i remember right, it was awesome. I stood there and stared at him for a while. It is amazing how beautiful it was and deadly at the same time. (If it bit you)
God has put some amazing animals on this earth for us to enjoy.

No, it was a long time ago. He had horn looking things on his head best i can remember. His color was so vibrant, it was almost glowing. I will try looking up some on google see if i can find one .

Could it have been a rhino viper, eyelash viper, or variable bush viper?

I found one. His coloring seems a little different than i remember. But i think it is an eyelash viper.
Not my photo. Just internet copy.

Eyelash viper sounds likely, they come in many colors and appear different based on the environment. I also love these, I remember when I first saw one at my local zoo, they still have it and I still love them.

New addition from a few weeks ago. Calabar python. Named him Wicket! Fun fact… these are know as two headed snakes because of their defense of wagging their fat blunt tails…also know as a rhinoceros snake because of its extremely thick skin. Actually…technically more closely related to a boa…but it is its own thing…very primitive branch of boids.

Technically I have bought all of my animals this year, but… latest purchases have been a 0.1 pastave het ghost, 0.1 banana het ghost, and a 0.1 pewter ghost! I am busy building out my female lineup, and closing in on buying a larger female as well, with hopes of buying a nice ghost combo male to backup for my Pastave Ghost male. Just gotta constantly rearrange the space I currently have and get another rack up and running, because space is always filled it seems!
0.1 Pastave Het Ghost
0.1 Banana Het Ghost
0.1 Pewter Ghost
0.1 GHI Het Ghost, PH Pied
1.0 Pastave Ghost
