I would like to get something venomous and was wondering if anyone in the Melbourne Fl. area would be willing to help me get venomous license. I have handled various snakes. I presently have an Amazon Tree Boa, a Retic and a Ball Python. I am really interested in moving on to hots but want someone with experience to show me the proper way. Thanks in advance for an replies.

What is your age ? (I hope you are at least 18.) Are you aware of Florida's policies on keeping venomous reptiles ?
Do you have any equipment or cages prepared for venomous reptiles ?
I will try to direct some help to you to answer your questions.

Hey Dennis, you may want to check with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and see if there is anyone in your area that is licensed. Also check with local herp societies, parks or wildlife refuge areas. Unfortunately I live to far from you to apprentice, but you can contact me if you have any questions at goatsby462@hotmail.com and I will do what I can......Goatsby

I am 14 so if i am under age/need a liscense somone please tell me but I don't think I need a liscense for a false water cobra. I am experienced in other types of snakes, especially constrictors. Lately I've been very interested in venomous snakes and am wondering about false water cobras. Any info on them regarding care and behavior would be nice. Also if anybody else has a different suggestion that would be great and I am open to your opinion.

Pit, there are a couple of ways to tell the Mojaves from Diamondbacks...The easiest however is by the rings on the tail. D-backs (also refered to as coontail)have black and white rings that are pretty close to even in width. A mojave will have white rings at least twice the size as the black rings. Blacktails are also mistaken by people that dont know what to look for because of their often greenish color but, as the name refers, they have a black tail. Also Blacktail prefer rocky areas usually with a southern exposure.Back to the Diamondbacks and Mojaves. The most common by far (10-1) will be the Diamondback.. Hope I helped ya a little.................Shelby

Boaguy, My best advice is to be patient. You are young and have plenty of time to learn more about snakes and practice with non-hots. Venomous have always been much more fascinating to me. BUT,,,,,, they DEMAND much more attention to detail. People react differently from each other to venomous bite and none know how they will react until that moment. When I got my first motercycle I near killed myself because I was in too much of a hurry to see how fast it would go. So stick with a mini-bike or non- venomous for a while. Get a mentor. And most important, take time to learn about the snakes that fascinate you
