    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I used to have 20 species of venomous snake until i made a very stupid decision. And my mom wont let me keep them any more, and i dont blame her.
I have had as far as hots--
1.0 albino monocle cobra (naja kaounthia)
1.1 Tanzanian puff adder (bitis aretans)
1.1 west african bush viper (atheris chloroechis)
1.1 eastern diamondback rattler (crotalus adamenteus)
2.5 eastern gaboon vipers (bitis gaboonica)
3.3 Ituri forest rhino viper (bitis nasicornis)
But right now im just working on my B.C.C. project. I have many years ahead of me to work with hots at a professional level.

I currently keep several different venomous snakes native to Africa as well as a Russels viper from Sri lanka. I have kept everything from small saw scaled vipers to large 10 foot Black Mambas, but my favorite to keep is definitly the Gaboon viper, they are such beautiful snakes man!
 
Keep only what you can give stellar care for. What fun is it to look through the glass at a sick, emaciated snake?

A few prize hots in primo condition as a result of your exceptional hot keeping is where it's at.
 
Right now I have 7 snakes.

Mojave RS .1
Baja RS 1.

E and W Gaboon .2
Rhino Viper 1.1
Horn-Nose Viper 1.


I plan to get more at Hamburg. My room will hold around 21 to 23 snakes when I am done. Once it becomes work and not a hobby I will cut back.
 
Agreed

My 2 Atrox are wonderful, and my 2 broad band copperheads along with my southern copperhead just as good. 5 is enough for me for now.
