Default Anyone?

Hi,

Any one know a species of snake that is non venemous, fast and between 5-10ft? The reason being is to get good reflexes so when im older it will be easier to handle hots.

Thanks
Mason

Yeah i thought if i posted her too, i would get the benefit of two sections, as with the snake section you have alot of knowledge which is great and in this section you'll probably have people who had to do this them selves so can recommend the snake they used.

I thought you always hots so they cannot get anywhere near you?

Any Humans reflexes will never be faster than a striking Diamond back for example

Not all snakes are snappy so your not being specific enough!! Try an ETB or an ATB!! They both have very nasty bites and are reasonably quick and snappy!!

because i'd like to know what non venemous but aggresive snakes the venemous keepers on this forum had to lead up to there venemous snakes.

As that is what alot of the keepers recomend doing, getting used to handling non venemous but fast and agressive first

A coach whip is a decent snake to train with although as stated above what kind of snakes are you looking to keep. I have heard alot of keepers recommend practicing with a WC coach whip. Would be a starting point.
