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 wish I could
I live in CA so I cannot keep hots (plus my wife said NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!), but my top 3 would be Copperhead, Death Adder and Rhino Viper. I have to stick with stuff that only LOOKS venomous.
Once I came across a grass green Northern Pacific Rattler while herping, needless to say, I wish I could have collected it! It was many years ago and unfortunately I had no film left in my camera by the time I found it (digital cameras were still in their infancy at the time). Ah, the old days...

I have ringed pythons (resemble banded kraits, mor so when young); green sanzinias kinda resemble tree vipers or mangshan vipers; blackheaded pythons bear a similar look to some forms of the namibian cobra; and womas look like some elapids with a little imagination...
I hope to get some candoia in the future. I may also pick up some mandarin rat snakes (they just look so cool, not because they resemble any specific hots)
I have a milksnake too, got it 17 years ago, only colubrid I still have (mainly working with ball pythons and the other stuff I mentioned).

non-venomous snakes that look venomous
I picked them up from Tom Keogan in Florida last October.

His keep their contrast as adults far better than most.
They are a bit frisky, acting much like a garter snake when touched. Super tiny as babies like a hatchling kingsnake or cornsnake so they need small mouse pinks. These guys never let me down at feeding time either, they are cool for sure. Their bite feels like a mosquito bite, as krait bites are reported to be painless, but far less insidious than a krait... The female got me the other night and I still woke up the next morning, lol

Living in California does not mean you cannot keep venomous. You can keep two per sub species of natives, per person per household. Except for rubers. And no limits on albinos of same sub species. Those can be sold, traded, bought, etc. Hope this helps....

I'm new to Fauna, but love hots and have kept them for years. I love any kind of rattlesnake. I have Crotalus atrox, C. viridis (both a green prairie and a smokin' red Hopi), some C. molossus, and some C. lep lep as well as a Sistrurus catenatus tergeminus. I also have a pair of Agkistrodon c. pictigaster...they're just gorgeous! Have some colubrids too, but love my hots the most. I'd really like to get some C. tigris and C. mitchellii as well.

California law is one thing. I am aware of the fact I can keep native hots with a fishing license, it bothers me that I can't keep a copperhead but can keep a mojave green, just a little ridiculous if you ask me... The reason I cannot keep ANY hots is the final law laid down by my wife; she said NOOOOOOOO!
Eventually I will try to get some some beaded lizards but it will take some time to convince her to allow it. I'm fortunate to have a wife that likes most of the snakes I have so I don't want to push my luck too far too fast.
