i may actually be out of line asking but we are all friends here hahaha, i hope, so dont mean to offend, just merely asking a question so i can better cement my rapidly forming opinion of you.

cheers

I'm not the only one who hasn't "pimped-out my profile" yet, but I have already posted some picturers around the site, and listed what I own in this thread last night. I do read lots of books as well as have hands-on experience, both wild and captive.

As far as an opinion goes, you don't need to form an opinion about me as I don't allow myself to form opinions about people i meet on a website, nor take much of what they say seriously unless it is helpful. Forming opinions on people is for IRL, when you can meet them in person and get a vibe and read them. Just accept me as an equal, that is all that matters.

And thank you very much for the list, Dave.

hmmm, thanks for that "victor" i do tend to form opinions im afraid, usually from what i gather, information wise from their knowledge, or lack of it. some people are very easy to read, others a trifle more difficult.

i have read some of your imput and some of it is "dubious" to say the least, you also i note did not specift any animals that you currently have in your posession.

i think advise should only be given to people via yourselves if it is your own personal experience and not solely gleened wrom written material.

from my own personal experience i have found books are a great reference starting point but nothing can take the place of hands on experience. i would use books as a starting point but then ask advise from people i know and trust to assist me further to gain my own experiences.

i will also try not to give people advise that may mislead them in any way, shape or form, at the end of the day bum advise will potentially lead to disaster for both animal and owner.

My first was a Copperhead followed closely by a Western diamondback.

I started with a pair of eyelash vipers and a pair of dusky pygmy rattlesnakes, then picked up a copperhead about three months after (and I'm glad I'd had the experience on the tamer stuff, that snake was MEAN) and then picked up a pair of variable bush vipers in Germany last December. I'd recommend the species I started with as starters to anyone else, it was a really comfortable progression into venomous handling.

Uhmm.......Dude......if you click the link on post #52, the very 1st paragraph describes a few species I still own. I'm mostly into breeding SA/CA Cichlids these days, and w/ 5 dogs as well I have cut down the amount of reptiles I own. Did you even read it, man? The following paragraphs are species I used to own and have hands-on experience with.
