Herpetologyfrk Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I've always been a fan of hots. I have just been waiting for the right time to keep one or two of them. Very cool pictures though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesavageprojects Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 i don't own any true hots, i've been considering a sidewinder for several years and i field herp from time to time. i figure i'll know if i want to keep one when i find one. i do have a few rear-fanged snakes, black mangroves x2 western hognosed snakes x4, and am very interested in getting more. those vine snakes are nice. have you had any problems with them? (i am aware that they are lizard eaters and that's fine) postscript. pretty cobra. is it a leucistic or a leucistic/albino. just curious?

Ozymandias Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 varry nice pictures (especially those last two lol) but to be honest not a snake man my self though i do really want to keep some form of beaded lizard at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 With the vine snakes I had to feed them nothing but anoles, cuban tree frogs and greenhouse frogs I would catch from the yard. They would not take frozen thawed anything. I tried converting them but there so difficult. The adult male was 7 ft long and would take live baby quail from time to time "it took the poor thing 10 minutues to die." The cobra was a leucistic, but to me no nicer than an albino. And yes beaded lizards are on my list aswell their much nicer and larger than gilas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 to be quite honest i would be happy with a gila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have never had any interest in keeping hots, although I do wish to work with them some day, just not on a keeper level. But I do admire them and the lucy cobra and the green vines are beautiful, esp the green vines, very vibrant and big eyed. makes me grey banded king look boring lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I got rid of all mine when my daughter was born a few years ago, but still have a few photos. Most of mine were nearly the entire Agkistrodon complex, and then a few others: ...I'll have to dig around my old CD's to see where I stored other photos...

Alex Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I do like the akistrodon complex aswell the fist hot snake I ever saw was a moccasin and it is still on of my faves. Please post some full bodied shots of the vivariums for the eyelash and bush viper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herpetologyfrk Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 It seems to be a A. bilineatus, Ozy Very nice pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO129197 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Colorado Wont allow one to keep Hots without jumping through a TON of hoops with the DOW and a few other governmental agencies..Too bad too, Although my wife wouldnt allow me to have them with our son...She got pissed when I bought an Emperor Scorpion a few weeks ago LOL!

CO129197 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Although - I Did have some pretty Hot Tarantulas and Centipedes! H.Maculata (F) T.Blondi (Never took a Bite...THANK GOD!) Common Black Widow Singapore Blue Chinese Black Earth Tiger Vietnamese Giant Yellow Leg 'pede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The first photo I listed above is an A. taylori, which a long time ago was thought to be a subspecies of A.bilineatus but later found to be its own species within the genus. These are some terrarium pics: Alot of animals are/were kept in sweaterbox drawers if they were terrestrial. These are the only terrarium photos I have online... I think I have a few other decent ones on a CD around here somewhere.... now I have to go look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
