thanks

Mine was V.ammodytes, closely followed by C.atrox, as for were they a good starter its hard to say really, they have been ok for me I havent had any problems my C.atrox is pretty calm, defensive but in nearly 3 years I could count the amount of times I have seen it strike at me on one hand however I have seen other specimens that are hell bent on nailing anything be it a hand or a hook.

At the moment I keep the two I have mentioned, a N.kaouthia, B.arietans, and an A.contortrix

I was keeping a B.gabonica and C.albolabris as well, as well as a handful of scorpions

I love your A.contortrix Si, aside from the fact that they are venomous, how do you find them to keep? Husbandry wise are they tricky? I understand they are often considered to be a good 'first DWA'. Great pics anyway, thanks for sharing!

The first venomous snake i ever handled was an Ornate Cantil. I was also mentored using WDB, Death Adder, red spitting cobra, and a couple of other things i cant remember but it was 15 years or so ago.

My first venomous snake was a Copperhead i also had a WDB and baby Monocled cobra
