i just wanted to say i totally agree with you on this subject. i too have kept reptiles of all kinds, and snakes being 1st on the list. i also have no degree's or herpitile schooling (although it is a goal),but i have kept a number of highly agrressive non-venomous snakes in order to gain a start on my experience in hot herp keeping. if everyone i asked gave me a negative answer to my questions i may have been discuraged from the hobby. unfortunatly in my state there are not many hot keepers (or serious keepers) to talk to 1st hand, so i learn alot on my own and have done so for the past 18yrs-i'm only 23 now. eventually i hope to get enough advise and more experience to handle hots safely. i am confident in my very well advanced skills with large,fast and aggressive boids and colubrids, and i guess what i'm trying to say is people like you make all the diffrance in educating people like me.-thanks nick wilcher

This reply is to Amy, are you sure you are only 14, the points you have made are as mature as any I have heard from many adults. You will no doubt become a fine Herptologist keep asking questions no one instinctivly knew about snakes they too learned by asking. Hang in there.

Thanks, Jason for an informative article. I was fortunate to have had knowing people to ask questions to about things I was interested in. Happily they were proud to answer them no matter how silly it seemed I gained a lot of knowlege by them taking the time to answer. I learned how to handle snakes however on my own after reading about there individual characteristics such as identifying which were venomous and which were not. I learned not to let my first hot snake position it's self so it could wrench it's self from my grip. It almost got free so I threw it away from me. It had crooked it's body behind my elbow and levered itself nearly out before I tossed it. I would like to hear about any one elses close calls. Thanks from Bill at n0ryx@sbcglobal.net
