Default Crotalus mitchelli

Crotalus mitchelli the arizona speckled rattlesnake is very difficult to get info on them, so far i have gathered:
Live in rocky desert areas of southwestern america
Feed on bats but if captive can feed on chicks and mice
Have blue eyes and are very variable in colour
Are venomous twice as bad as Eastern Diamondbacks
Are small compared to Eastern Diamondbacks

BUT......... How can i get one in the UK??????????

I know a friend of friend that lives in arizona but not sure of shipping laws and costs if he did get one.

I know there are people that breed rattlesnakes in the uk but none specifically the speckled

I wont buy one without a licence obviously.
I will go on a course for experience in handling venomous, this will help me while applying for a licence.
My HOT room will be my snake room which can already be locked and has an extention to put a cordless phone in.
I also have to find a suitable viv which i am yet to make a decision on.
I will also see one of the species i am looking for and handle it BEFORE i buy one
As you can see i am researching at the moment as much as possible Before i buy. I do so with every single snake i keep.
