My first hot was an East African Gaboon and he was all about huff and puff so I named him Mr. Snuggles. That's awesome she's a sweetheart.

Yea Ginger likes to lay on my arm and watch the world go by.LOL She may lightly hiss once and awhile now when being first picked up, she has grown very calm the past 5 months.

BTW- Thanks.

She has grown quite a bit in the last few months. I love coming back to see her progress. Thanks for the neat pics! It is a dangerous game, but you accept the risk, and in a way I admire that.

Free handling hots

Barry, you seem to be very impressed with yourself. I've free handled venomous snakes myself but I'm not proud of it. I was immature, inexperienced, irresponsible and impulsive. I was not brave, bold, or courageous and my balls weren't nearly the size they are now. I'll give you the daredevil and adrenaline junkie titles if you want them since my friends who laid claim to those titles prior and now deceased. It's a numbers game my friend, anyone can handle venomous snakes and not get bit most of the time. I suppose you think there's no reason to wear a seat-belt either as long as you're a good driver.

There is not 1 good reason to free handle a venomous snake and it's irresponsible to give the impression that this is a noble/brave thing to do. I love snakes, I love handling snakes, I have many venomous and nonvenomous snakes. There is nothing different or exciting about handling a venomous snake versus a non venomous snake other than the incurred risk. If you get off on dancing with death more power to you but please keep it to yourself. Young people can be impressionable and as dumb as it sounds the possibility of someone wanting to cool like Barry exists as long as threads like this are made. Please be a responsible member of the hot community and stop promoting the dangerous practice of free handling venomous snakes, very simply it's a stupid thing to do. See Jamie Coots if you need proof.
