Good evening all, let me introduce myself properly, I have been keeping reptiles for years now, I have had the passion since I was a toddler(so my parents mentioned), I received my first snake at the age of 7 years old, and since then the passion grew into something i'm sure my parents did not expect, ha ha im sure if they knew then what they know now they would never have bought me a snake.

I have had my bad luck with hots as well, my very first hot was a very young pair of T. Albolabris, and I did ask all the Q's and got all the A's, and ofcours the seller said it is eating. Well after 2 weeks they were still not eating and that led to force feeding, and you all could only guess what happened next, BAM on the thumb, lucky for me it was a dry bite, but that was a big enough shock and from then I took high precautions.

I have bred numerous reptiles before, and still do, my collection is at a low at the moment, as I am busy revamping my snake room, new racks, enclosures and the extras, my collection consists of the following:

Colubrids:
1x Californian king snake. (Someones escaped pet)
4x Normal het albino housies.
3x Brickred housies.
2x Ghost housies.
1x Bugeyed housie.

Boas:
1x Normal redtail.
1x Anery redtail.

Pythons:
1x Jungle carpet python.
1x Normal burm.
1x Albino burm.

Venomous:
2x Cerastes cerastes.
2x Southern copperheads.
1x Whitelipped tree viper.

Then I have some other odds and ends.

Other snakes that I have had during this year and sold to redo my snake room.

Boas:
2x yellow anacondas.
9x Kenyan sand boas.
1x Dumerils boa.

Pythons:
1x Normal het laby burm.
1x Albino burm.
2x spotted pythons.

Colubrids:
2x Aurora housies.
1x Bull snake.

Venomous:
1x Adult Whitelipped tree viper.
1x Purples phase mangrove viper.
1x Black phase mangrove viper.
1x Indonesian eyelash viper.
1x Monocled cobra (really doubt selling this girl, she was gorgeous)
1x CB Rinkhals.
4x Puff adders. (Eastern cape/Botswana/Limpopo/Somalia)
1x Usambara bush/eyelash viper.
2x Angolan coral snakes.

Thanks for having a scroll, I have tried uploading pics, and tgen I followed the instructions and that also did not really help.

Best regards.

post some pics Superboer and welkom :)
Most people erroneously call a snake the Puff Adder, Night Adder, or Blowing Viper, So, naturally they will kill it....
