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.

Thinking of getting my 1st HOT!
Hello everyone,
I realize I am opening Pandora's Box with this question but I am SERIOUSLY thinking of getting my 1st hot. I've had sveral pythons and have kept copperheads but I want a Gaboon. I have all the equip. to handle such a snake. I know they are very fast strikers and aren't they best for beginners but to me they are the most beatiful snake on earth. So, let me have it. Good or bad. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! I have checked and they are legal to own in Oklahoma. Thanks everybody! Jason
P.S They are CB 07 babies.

I'm confused...
1st hots but you have kept copperheads?
My suggestion is to find a mentor to work with.

I live in Oklahoma and have WC copperheads for some time before releasing them. I just haven't had anything of the magnitude of a Gaboon. Just looking for some advice. Thanks!

Tim's suggestion of finding a mentor is the best thing you can do. Going from copperheads to gaboons with no real experience or training is a big leap.
Short term keeping of coppers isn't going to provide you with the experience needed to safely keep a gabby, and this is not something where you want to be self taught, the lessons come hard.

what he is saying is that wild caught spiecies that you plan to release in the future should not be housed around other animals . they can pick up diseases that could do serious damage to wild populations . thats pretty much it in a nutshell .
