I am considering the same thing!!



I am specifically wanting a gloydius blomhoffi or gloydius tsushimaensis, the Japanese Mamushi.



I was advised to begin working with a non-poisonous, extremely ill-tempered snake that is similar in body, movement, and speed to the mamushi. the more ill-tempered, the better. something named "little bastard" or "satan" by the pet shop staff would be perfect.



Does anyone here have any idea what kind of non-poisonous snake would be comparable to mamushi?



Thanks and sorry for hijacking your thread ha ha but maybe the tip about getting a violent non-hot to train with is good advice for you too?
