some elapid picts

[elapid@]

yep

ven shakes are easy to keep if not easyer than pythons some people get on there hi horse about them all you need is a bit of common sence in vic all you need advanced lic

Yeah i would have to agree there, I remember when i wanted to apply for a permit to keep elapids, Some people are up there ******* when it comes to some one who wants to become involved , I was lucky enough to meet some one who wasn't on there hi horse and in my opinion had the most experience out of the lot. And also they are as easy as keeping any other non venomous snake, just the risk of dying is a lot greater but hey ____surf_________car_____________smoking_____drinking________etc________:lol:

I understand that you need lots of snake handling experience too keep hot snakes, but are they hard too keep? And wat sorta licences do u need?

Just to put things straight, my Tiger is a legal wild caught snake. The word 'hot' makes me feel as if i'm doing it illegally!

Caught (and unfortunately ran over) a Pale head last night. Haven't checked it this morning yet but last night it seemed fine. We hit it's head but it moves around normally and reacts to movement normally so i'm hoping for the best. Will post piccies this afternoon- dead or alive. Also found a hatchie BHP hit, and 3 other snakes(but when we turned around they were gone) - was a good night. Also rescued a wee little pinkie Rufous Bettong, very cute and has survived her first night which is a good sign.

Erm, i class a good night as being one when you dont run over a Hoplo :lol:

Hot is another term for venomous the yanks seem to use, not describing an illegally caught snake.....

Oh ok. I know it's used with other items so i just assumed. Yanks ey! Ha, jokes.

Yeah i was pretty upset we hit him. We were going too fast i think and my bf didn't see it as it was on my side and by the time i yelled it was already done. Stupid me though- i could have SWORN it was a spotted, and when we came back there was a car behind us about to hit it again so i ran out and grabbed it in the dark (didn't have time to find the torch). When i got to the side of the road and the car passed and i saw it with their head lights and realised it wasn't a spotted! But all is good, learnt my lesson never to assume it's something before checkin it properly!

I meant it was a good night because we saw 5 snakes in 2 hours, and we saved a little baby.

 

[m.punja]

I think they use Hot to refer to venomous snakes that are still venomous, hots and venomoids, both from elapid or viper families, one still deadly the other not
