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.

First hot
I'm currently being mentored on the captive care of hots. The species I decided I wanted was Trimeresurus venustus but I'm having a lot of trouble getting detailed care information or even finding a seller. Most of the ones I see being sold are labeled "Trimeresurus venustus Kanburi Pit Viper" when these are two separate species. I'm reluctant to buy when I don't know which species I'm getting even if the care is similar. Any advice, guys?

A friend of mine kept both of those species, and in all my time with him I noticed they have very similiar care. Good luck in your search.

I'm not gonna be one of those that condemns you for picking hots, or asking info about your "first" hot...as I, myself, just got my own...
I was just curious about what brought you to that particular snake, for your first?

I don't have a problem with Dan as a person (I don't know the guy) but I (myself) will avoid DTS and keep his snakes out of my collection.
But if you are a gambling man you might just get some good snakes. (When buying snakes like this from Dan they are probably WC, take them to a vet, stool sample etc, even if he says they are fine and have been treated already)
My point: CAUTION when buying from Dan but he does have some rare stuff from time to time and it may be worth the gamble for you but if something goes wrong, LOOK OUT! Just read the BOI before you roll the dice on this guy.
Good luck.

I would NOT, I repeat NOT deal with DTS. As mentioned do a search.
While I do not know who this person is you may want to check him/her out:

Well I was always interested in hots and the more I looked and picked out what I would like to keep, the more I realized the majority of them were pit vipers. I did a lot of research but I kept turning back to this species over and over again.
