She's doing well, I had her out yesterday for about 40mins. I'll post some new pics of her soon. Thanks

Mate, it is a personal decision to do stuff like this as everybody knows their animal best but a gaboon bite will hurt you bad and has a good chance of killing you even with antivenin. I wouldn't do this with this species or with any ambush predator venomous snake.

THIS is why eventually all "dangerous" exotic ownership will be banned in this country. This is flat out irresponsible. You hurt the entire community with this crap. This is a news story waiting to happen. I can see the headline now..."South Carolina man killed by the venomous snake he cuddled with. A call for a nationwide ban on ownership to be passed."

Unfortunately, you're wasting your breath. This gentleman has been given a very rational argument as to how his actions could harm the entire community, yet he continues to believe that an accident would have no reprocussion on on our ability to work with these glorious animals. It's a shame too because he seems like a very personable person and I believe he has a true love for his animals.
I typically live by the mantra "live and let live", however public displays such as this are likely going to lend themselves to an outright ban in the not too distant future.
