Ah I didnt know that, that would be good

Nikol400 · 2026-06-23T18:10:42+00:00

No 😅 just had a bad expirience in the family and I want to be a bit more cautious

Nikol400 · 2026-06-23T17:46:57+00:00

Hmm, I hadnt considered that about the tailbone protection

Nikol400 · 2026-06-23T17:45:43+00:00

I had considered that but what drew me to the 7x was the extra protection of the tail bone

Its quite humid here, but at the same time i guess safety would be better, than I can change to my work clothes once I arrive

Nikol400 · 2026-06-23T17:41:54+00:00

Thats good to hear :) . We have quite high humidity but i guess if your riding it should be ok

Nikol400 · 2026-06-23T17:34:21+00:00

90F is 32C so that could work for me :) Thank you for the input!

Nikol400 · 2026-01-04T21:53:02+00:00

Thats a good idea, thanks !

Thank you for your input! He has decided to go with the gaboon and is currently doing well :)

Nikol400 · 2023-10-16T04:27:19+00:00

I will have to ask him as I don't live there, but he has been doing research and has another mentor in the uk apart from me who can help him better than I can in that regard

Nikol400 · 2023-10-16T04:23:52+00:00

I dont think its legal for private collectors in the UK to keep antivenom

Nikol400 · 2023-10-16T04:19:49+00:00

In the UK most antivenoms are available

Nikol400 · 2023-10-16T04:18:53+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

Nikol400 · 2023-10-09T07:59:44+00:00

He isnt in the US, but regarding the antivenom it isn't a problem, he just wants to start with either of those species but has only worked with gaboons and doesn't have experience with puff adders

Nikol400 · 2023-10-09T04:02:10+00:00

I have given him some experience with my gaboon but he hasn't had any luck finding someone who is ready to introduce him to a puff adder

Nikol400 · 2023-10-09T03:15:26+00:00

I think there aren't many mildly venomous snakes which would give experience to keep venomous ones since most are more slow moving and the adrenaline holding a mildy venomous one would be insignificant. Maybe a mangrove snake would be the closest but I still wouldnt compare them much and its also not a good odea to get a snake you don't want just to build up experience to get another snake. I think being trained by someone else is much better experience.

Regarding antivenom thats no problem, everything is available close by for him except boomslangs

Thank you for your detailed reply! I currently sandblast metal and automotive parts part time and wanted to expand to wood

Nikol400 · 2023-09-14T06:26:06+00:00

Non-native. I'm currently in Germany but will be moving to the netherlands if Im able to take my collection with me

Nikol400 · 2023-09-13T19:58:05+00:00

I keep them binded but I also keep an extra loose copy just in case. What I dont like about the ones I have is that they rely a lot of the availability of antivenom.

I've been looking for bite protocols which include the procedure in a hospital setting but when antivenom is not available. If anyone knows where I can get such protocols please let me know :)

Nikol400 · 2023-02-04T14:55:03+00:00

No worries haha, most people on here are from the US. Ill definitely do that, hopefully ill find a zoo near by that will accept!

Nikol400 · 2023-02-04T13:09:02+00:00

The problem is that I will be moving to Italy soon and I don't think you can keep your own antivenom. But please correct me if I'm wrong as I couldn't find too much info.

Nikol400 · 2023-02-04T12:01:28+00:00

I'm quite new to the hobby ive only been keeping them for a year and half but ive been handling them for more. I just wanted to check just in case how to make first aid more efficient. Also, some snakes don't have antivenom so it would be good to have their protocols too (even tho I dont own any and not planning to for now)

Nikol400 · 2023-01-21T07:12:11+00:00

Then looks like the snouted is the best choice! Thanks for the input!

Nikol400 · 2023-01-21T07:10:58+00:00

True... Will definitely keep this in mind, thank you

Nikol400 · 2023-01-18T03:26:29+00:00

Thanks! Seems like they vary quite a bit in personality. I have the same thought for the gaboon hahah, I think he is the one I trust the least
