and again, not to flame or belittle, but it was not more than a few weeks back you first posted saying that you were "going to be" getting into hots...I don't know how people go about it in the land down under, but most experienced, qualified hot keepers here in the States would probably think that a few weeks of experience with hots is definitely not enough to begin keeping them in your home.



But you are a grown man (I'm assuming at least) and you will do what you do in the end. My simplest (and shortest ) bit of advice would be to not jump into this too early, take your time, and let yourself learn more about them. You've barely kept 4 or so snakes period, and none of those match elapids in terms of agility, physiology, behavior, or sheer lethality. If you REALLY want to jump head first into hots (not the brightest thing to do), consider getting a rear-fanged colubrid, of which you have numerous choices in Australia.



Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth (2 cents, lol )
