Dan,

Thank You for joining the discussion and providing me with another choice - it is much appreciated. So, the good ol' "Lanceheads", huh? I would think for the "worst case" (-Chris) scenario being able to use CroFab for Atropoides, You could probably use it for Bothrops alternatus as well.

Anyway, I like all the pros of its nature that You list. I still might go with something that 'keeps me on my toes,' but I like knowing the "placid", hook-handable, and hardy species out there. Thanks again!!

Timothy

>>Back to venemous snakes, have you thought about Bothrops alternatus or the Urutu? I have only had one and it was one of the easier hots I have had. The colors and pattern are absolutely awesome. It was a very cal snake that did not show signs of aggression. It rode a hook well and it ate well. It was one of the easiest hots I have ever kept. They are something different from the North American hots. I am not sure if Cro-Fab would work with them but I don't see why it would'nt.
