If what others are suggesting is correct, and I believe they are (it is either a southern or northern pacific), this little tidbit of info would be quite handy for your doctor if you ever had the misfortune to be bitten by it. I believe the venom of those two snakes is in pretty stark contrast from a western, and I know I'd want my doctor to be absolutely sure about what species it was that got me and about what to expect in general from bites from that species. Anyway, he's a cute little guy, but as everyone has said, be careful. I tend to agree with Chad Bachman on this one, no venomous snake qualifies as a "pet." In fact, I don't personally believe any snake really qualifieds as a pet, but some can become fairly socialized. I understand that you were using that term loosely, I guess I'm just a bit more picky Keep up the cool shots.
