Yeah I saw a tv show on discovery channel about a biohazard job, Milking cobras and vipers, seems to be a very interesting job. _________________ Ben3233

I'm a huge fan of D. typus as well as all species in the genus Oxyuranus. In my opinion though nothing compares with Crotalus atrox. Also, not sure if you assumed I was referring to the Austrelaps genus when I said copperhead but I meant Agkistrodon contortrix. What Elapids have you kept Jeff? _________________ 1.0 Bearded Dragon

Wow it must take HUGE balls to work with Dendroaspis polylepis. How big were the ones you were working with? Gila's are another species I would like to work with as I don't find them hot as in they have the potential to kill you, but if were talking about semi-hots Hydrodynastes gigas would be an interesting snake to breed, 6+ feet long, wouldn't be great to take a chew from one of them though. _________________ 1.0 Bearded Dragon
