Hi,

I've owned a copperhead now for several months and I think they are incredible! They just have a much more inquisitive nature to them then boas and pythons, which I've owned for years. What are some other venomous species that have a more inquisitive nature to them?

I guess this question is more geared towards an experience hot handler who has dealt with several venomous species.

Please let me know what you think...

Thanks,

Peter F.

>>What are some other venomous species that have a more inquisitive nature to them?

The ones I've noticed in particular are our cottonmouths, mambas, and costal taipan. Also, certain individuals of a number of other species...mostly the ones that always seem to be hungry.

My friend Jared had a couple Cape Cobras with all the personality in the world. It was, however, a very nasty personality, and I was glad the plexiglass cage fronts were quite strong and that there were no gaps.

Fiesty little things, those two.
