Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I would vote Agkistrodon Contortrix (Copperhead) due to RELATIVELY more forgiving bite and availability of A/V, or a forgiving rear fang species you can get used to handling safely. I.E. one of the Boiga species, maybe an Oxybelis Aeneus (Brown Vine), or foreign vine snake species as mentioned previously.
As I'm sure it was mentioned previously, you want something that is not necessarily life threatening but still demands respect while being handled. Something that if you make a mistake, it won't be your last. Just remember, hot is hot, period.
BTW, holy thread resurrection, batman!

Hognose or ring necks are the only ones someone your age could get away with that I know of because you'd have to work at killing yourself with one by using a dead one as a noose to hang yourself with. The last one I mentioned won't even bite you, and I should know because that's the only venomous snake I've knowingly handled. Flying snakes have weak venom, but Geico won't sell you cheap geckos.
God bless, Jason Scott Irelan

I got a copperhead for my first. Mild temper, mild Venom and relatively easy to deal with. The only thing is they don't Ride the hook that well, but then again every snake is its own individual.Not to mention it's one of the most beautiful snakes in the world. Mine is a southern copperhead.

The original author of this thread hasn't been back here for 15 years. Perhaps his foray into hots did not work out well for him.
