Hey everyone, name's Aaron, I live near Toronto Canada. I've kept non-venomous reptiles and snakes for about ten years, been around them all my life though. I'd like to take the next step and start the process of learning about hots. I am currently looking for a mentor and reading as much as I can from info on individual species to antivenon to handling.
I look forward to participating on the forum and learning as much as I possibly can from the knowledgeable people here.
From what I've learned so far I think that the best bet I have for a starter (after some training) would be a Copperhead.. sorry I'm terrible with the scientific names still. Agkistrodon might be close. Lol, but honestly I probably deserve a good slap for that spelling disaster.
My favs and dream collection would be a selection of the Atheris'...I think they're absolutely incredible animals. I'm fascinated by Mambas too, and would like to eventually work up to them but I realize there will be quite a few years experience to gain before tackling that. I'm sure the rewards are well worth the effort.
As of right now I am herp-less, I moved away a couple years ago and had to adopt out my collection, now that I have returned I'm in the process of purchasing a stunning cbb Amazon Tree Boa.
