C.atrox 2 months old now

What an experience it has been. Unlike nonvenomous reptiles, you have to be careful on who you deal with. The liability factor alone was something to think about. Anyhow, they are really cool snakes & I think that some peole do not realize what a jewel they are.
Sorry about the lint in all the pics, did not realize it was there til later.


out of 21 babies C. atrox, this is what I have left = D

Jerry, was just thinking of you yesterday. Wasn't it you that was getting the beaded lizard? Perhaps in trade for some atrox? My memory sucks! Saw one at a pet store yesterday and was wondering how yours is doing. Really love your atrox keepers & that normal is pretty awesome looking! Scary, but awesome

Yes, I traded 2 atox for 2 beaded lizards. They are doing great. I need to take some new pics though.

Man, I tell you. Those pics put the fear into me like you wouldn't believe. They're very hard for me to look at.

I don't know how you do it, Jerry.

Cant wait to see what the albino melanistic looks like as an adult!

[Kevin_is_a_herper12]

I can't wait till I have my own house and enough experience to get into venomous herps. I really want an eyelash viper, gaboon viper, and a albino rattler...not sure which species.

[Kevin_is_a_herper12]

Oh, a sidewinder would be cool also.

me either

jitami, yes I have held them. I am very careful, you just can not reach in & grab them because they are very fast @ swinging their head around. I was told by someone that had been bitten before that it is VERY PAINFUL.

Kevin_is_a_herper12, There is more to it than that to keeping venomous reptiles. The best thing is to read as much as you can & then to find someone that has venomous that will allow you to work with him to get the experience first. Make sure it is someone that has not been bitten several times.

[jitami]

Nice... those are some crazy looking claws. Do you handle them at all? Pretty neat critters

The biggest obstacle most people will face is the legalities. Less and less states, cities, and counties allow hots, and you must make sure that none of those 3 forms of government where you live have laws against them.

I really would like a black tailed rattler, but they are not allowed here as they are not native.
