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.

Hello, Ill be purchasing a false water cobra as soon as I get the temps and humidity right. All I need to know now is what does humidity need to be at and what kind of medical treatment is needed for a bite from them?

youre also 14 and living with your parents. Teaching dogs to stay away from rattlers is NOT experience with rattlers on a daily basis. ( IE KEEPING THEM)
Also, im in no way a "Sir" if you look at the user profiles next to my post youd see im a female and also 20 . I do not recommend you keep a "hot" snake of any form until you are successful at keeping multiple animals at a time, and have real experience with these "hot" reptiles with somone qualified. these animals are in no way for beginners no matter what you read online. if you want a tough to handle snake why not get a Green Tree Python. or something your parents would approve of?

Please do alot more real research on this animal before you aquire one. It appears that you are not even aware of the basic needs of this species. Also, check the local regulations on keeping hots in your area. Especially by an underage person.
Assisting in the training of dogs to "avoid" snakes is a world away of actually handleing
a hot snake. You will require special caging, and handleing equipment.
By all means research, very very carefully before getting this animal.

Humidity-some keep them in the 80% range, though I think that is a bit excessive, I would say a FWC needs at least 60%.
Medical treatment-Okay, the FWC venom is as toxic as the Timber Rattlesnake, keep this in mind. A FWC usually bites with their front teeth, unless they fear for their lives or are going for food. They will open their mouth wider and bite down with their rear fangs and chew. At this point you WILL need medical attention. I have read some have lost permanent feeling in their fingers and even some have lost the ability to use their arm from a FWC bite.
FWC are extremely aggressive when food is around, they are very flighty when they are hatched and their only means of defense is bitting. What may seem like a placid and nice snake at first can quickly turn on you and bite like crazy. I have seen this first hand. Remember THEY ARE VENOMOUS!
You may have experience with a ball pythonand a corn snake, until you have really experienced an aggressive snake and kept it for a long period of time, then study the problems with keeping "hots". In fact, start out with a wc blood python, Burmese python, Suriname boa, reticulated python, or green tree python. Experience one of them being aggressive, then add the dangers of losing the use of your hand from a venomous bite. Safety first my friend. Please be careful.
