Hey all. I don't keep hots myself, nor do I really have any interest to do so in the future. I'll photograph them when I come across them in the wild, but I don't handle them or anything like that. I do find some of them very fascinating though, probably my favorite venomous snake is the boomslang. Seeing pictures/videos, they remind me almost of a very dangerous version of our north american coachwhip. I keep coachwhips, they're one of my favorites, in fact, which is probably why I find boomslangs so intriguing. Anyway, I was curious if anyone has kept them, or could share some of their experiences with them as far as their behavior in captivity. Like I said, I'm not interested in keeping one, or any hot for that matter. I just think they're interesting and am curious how they behave in captivity. Pictures would be cool too, they're such a variable snake as far as color goes, and some of the pictures I've seen of some are incredible. Anyway, thanks!
Kevin
