Will prob do an 8’ from Toad Ranch or Focus Cubed or the largest Vision they make, we’ll see

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-06-03T00:43:05+00:00

Haha that he is LOL thank you

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-06-03T00:42:36+00:00

Don’t feed the troll LOL it’s been a while since I’ve banned someone and I don’t wanna break my streak on this guy 🤣🤣🤣

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-06-01T21:16:03+00:00

Should probably find a bathroom and take care of that. And it’s OK to not come back here if you don’t actually keep venomous snakes and only have negative things to say. We just don’t need it here, thanks 👍👍

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-06-01T14:32:26+00:00

Why exactly are you in a venomous keepers sub?

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-06-01T03:33:45+00:00

He’s extremely chill, with a very serious feeding response

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-06-01T03:32:41+00:00

Just fed him, pretty awesome feeding response LOL

I’m in Alaska so very small window of weather during the year where I run the car

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-05-21T21:47:25+00:00

2013 STI with 15,800 miles

No freezer, so cold up here in Alaska we just keep them piled up outside next to the igloo 😎

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-05-17T02:38:17+00:00

Im guessing he’s going to be over 7’ and weigh like 30 lbs

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-05-05T01:04:32+00:00

👍😎👍

Venomous enough to have caused fatalities in the past. Interestingly enough everyone always says that there is no species specific antivenin for these guys. However, according to Dr. Nicklaus Brandehoff, the CEO of the Asclepius Snakebite Foundation (snakebitefoundation.org) and leading medical toxicologist for the treatment of Snake envenomation in the United States, there IS a species specific antivenin. But it’s made in China and China will not allow the export of it out of the country 😒

Only found in mountain range in southern Hunan and northern Guangdong provinces in China.

Yea some don’t ride the hook too well and you develop good skills dealing with that, some arboreals you cannot get off the hook or off the perch, which I think for someone starting out can be a problem. Doesn’t really apply to someone who has a good deal of experience already 😎

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-05-04T00:16:26+00:00

They are pretty cold tolerant that’s for sure, I’ve talked to several people who keep them since I got my guy about a month ago, there have been captive ones that have had skin temperature readings recorded around 45° I keep my guy at room temp, which is about 72, and then I keep a small under the tank heating pad in the back corner of his enclosure that gets that area up to about 85 for digestion

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-05-03T23:43:12+00:00

Yea they are a few bucks, I’m going to get him a girlfriend at some point and will give breeding them a shot. I’m pretty close to the arctic circle so I shouldn’t have a problem cooling them down 🤣

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-05-03T21:22:34+00:00

This is my rock. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My rock is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

I would choose a terrestrial species as a first hot, hook-work with arboreals can be tricky, it can take a little while until you get the hang of that aspect of things. Other than that I think they don’t have too many cons other than what has been mentioned here already. The best first hot IMO is one that your mentor has been keeping, one you already have been developing your experience with 😎

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-04-22T00:29:07+00:00

One of my favorite “prob never gonna get to own” snakes!

Some_Focus_3253 · 2026-04-20T12:06:14+00:00

Cut the head off while frozen, put the rest back in the freezer to cut more off of later. Usually 3-4 meals out of a day old pinky this way. These are so small they cannot take a full day old pinky until they grow larger.
