It looked pretty rough. At the rate you're going, make sure you post a picture of your Gaboon Viper bite as well.

They feel really cool, like pebbles set in tar paper. The keels are so thick, it's amazing. Too bad none of you have minds open enough to experience it. :P

Veldmuis Registered: 03/2004 Photos Uplaoded: 8 Comments Left: 0	The reason that nobody has his minds open is because the people here don't want to die. It's nuts. If you want to feel the snake in your hands then do it safe. Use A TUBE!!!!!

I know ball pythons that'll bite anything that comes near them. Heck, I know a leopard gecko that'll kill and eat you if you could. =) Very nice snake.	Rating: 5/5

jont52 Registered: 09/2002 Photos Uplaoded: 1 Comments Left: 0	That was in one of the forums. Isn't it a venomoid? I believe I've seen that picture before. Even if it is though I still wouldn't want to catch one of those fangs. Ouch

GreggMM Registered: 03/2004 Photos Uplaoded: 69 Comments Left: 0	Look at that poor gaboon viper.... First of all it is a venomoid.... Nice sunken in head from the void sugery..... Anyone that can do that to such a beautiful snake should have their teeth pulled out one by one with no pain meds.... It totally takes away from the nature and the natural look of the snake.... HerpHusband, It is true that they are not any more likely to bite than any other snake but results of a bite from a gaboon are very bad at the least..... They can and will bite wether is is a mistake or in self defence, a venomous bite is a venomous bite.... And dead is dead.... I would free handle any type of non hot but the chance you take handling venomous snakes realy is not worth life or limb..... Is it???? The fangs alone are enough to cause nerve damage and serious infections..... Nevermind the venom...... I would also like to know how knowing venomoid surgeries are cruel and illegal, is being closed minded???? It is ignorant to believe this is a good thing and the animal does not suffer from it......

All jokes aside, snakes are still wild no matter how often you handle them, what species they are, or when you took them in. They all have the potential to return to their natural tendancies, and some have the natural tendency to bite...

Please show me unbiased data stating weather venemoid surgery is either beneficial or detrimental to the snakes. I've been in this industry for 18 years and I have yet to see anything more than empty statements. If it's your opinion that venemoid surgery is bad or makes the snake look ugly, then good, don't own one. Everyone knows that smoking causes disease and decreses the lifespan of that homosapien erectus species, but it's still the most widely accepted addiction. I for one am sick of this unfounded venemoid discussion which is just filled with opinions and people trying to control how other people enjoy the hobby.	Rating: 5/5

And if you are going to try and sound smart, be correct. Modern humans would be Homosapein Sapein. NOT ERECTUS In response to the photo you got balls. It's cool if you want to freehandle, but a lot of kids and/or beginners get on this site and see things like this. Im not saying dont do it. Just that it is not a good idea to post pics of it on this site.
