I understand Mangroves and FWC's aren't DWA

But they are still suitable for beginner Venomous keepers who are experienced with snakes. - Bites, I understand are very painful and should only be kept by experienced keepersl.

Also keeping them alive is a challenge unless you know what you're doing....Lots of husbandry experience also required.

Ber me if you aren't doing it again! recycling information and telling it like you actually know something about the subject.

stuart, I think its more a statement meant for "approval" than recycling

I was more asking for an approval.

I don't know this, However I was wanting an approval of somebody who does.

If it's something that is not true, then please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Just don't write it in the first place unless you put in my opinion or I have heard then!

I doubt anyone would after all you have writen but you never know.... someone might still take your word as fact, and unless it is fact, which so far does not appear to be the case often... it's not going to do much good.

right viper lover....

before i say anything i myself do not own any type of snake or DWA but on the other hand i do help look after the following : 1 afrock 2 royals 3 jcp 1 fwc 1 etb. And all i can say is after 2 years of helping out i only handle the royals and jungles. Thw FWC is one pycotic snake imo and the one i help care for wants to bite anything it see's so highly suggest avoiding. Get a corn snake and go up in the levels as it were. I no whats it like i wanted a Iguana as first lizard but after rethinking realised id look a numpty due to not having a clue how to care for it etc. so start off small and grow colelction from there. the DWA list is very very hard to get into mainly because my friend wants to and i have advised not to due to having trouble with her FWC let alone a DWA. You do seem to be arragent imo, at your age a corn snake should be a big deal let alone anything else. If you want any advice i would say sit back learn and start small and go from there, its all good saying "my friend" etc. but you dont have first hand exp with any reptile, so sit back chill out and read and research and expand your knowledge of snakes and reptiles in general.

this is my opinion and dont mean to cause any rift. I dont own a snake but i do help care for some as stated above.

Maybe if he tryed a snake such as this with a hook and just got some practice in it may well keep him out of A&E when he gets around to getting a DWA.
