Let's see....you're 17...you got your first snake when you were 3....but you've been keeping them 12 years?

No no no, What he SAID was:

I may only be 17 but i got my first corn when i was 3
Then tried to backtalk his way out of it by saying he kept them for 12 (which probably means he an older sibling who has one and they lives under the same roof).

I have to agree with Wilder though. At 3 years old, that is pretty damn impressive!
 
My brother bought me one when i was three and i started helping him take care of it...He gave it to me before he went to collage on a football schlorship, i was about 5 then...answer ur ?'s?

lmao now THATS funny, thanks hehe..."Dats a good one, Ahnold"...

hmm...so far today i've washed 3 loads of laundry, vacuumed the downstairs, made the kid put hers away AND clean her room...fooled with snakes (of course)...manged to squeeze jumpin inline here and takin a few pics of snakes...

work a four day 50 hour plus week, support my family and hobbies while my wife works and attends college full time...at least twice a week hike and fish all over the few lakes we have here...take my kid herp hunting...drive 700 miles to attend shows...it's all good tho, it's called multitasking and it comes with experience, as does age, humility and knowledge...and the ability to gracefully remove your foot from your mouth, but that can be done...even at...17....
 
PF: How many snakes have you kept since then?
What kind of snakes?
How many do you have now?

Just curious. :)

CKA is my new E-hero. :)

Hey...that was totally uncalled for...It's truely amazing how a 17 y/o knows everything including everyone's life! We do have lives that we live and it's not degrading other people! So, with that being said, have mommy or daddy take you to the mall so us "over 30 y/o's" can talk about what we enjoy!

oops im sorry i fell off my chair laughing my head off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okaaay, right, like im gonna believe that now.
do you even know what a gaboon viper is?

okay here are your symptons from its bite~

Haemotoxic venom is very painful
Severe Local symptoms -- Intense Pain, Inflammation, Ozing of haemolytic blood.
Marked Vasculotoxic effects.
Bleeding from mucous membrane of the Mouth, Anus, Nose and haemorrhages under the skin.
Because of local damage to circulatory cells, hemotoxic venom spreads more slowly and has a slower action than the neurotoxins.
Vascular Collapse - Cold Skin, Rapid feeble Pulse, Dilated Pupils insensitive to light, Gradual loss of consciousness.

and this is what a west african gaboon viper looks like ~

and these, my friend, are its wonderful fangs~

gaboonviper.jpg


oh btw, these are pictures of a baby gaboon viper as well.
i hope your very well trained with such venomous creatures, you know, it is illegal to keep venomous snakes, right?
 
now that is one beutifull snake, i one had a eyelash viper for aobut 7 years it died last fall, he was yellow it was the most amazing snake i ever housed :cheers:
 
oh and if anyone has a problem with my signature are liek the pictures are idstracting or something sjut tell me i wll cooperate and remove it but for the most part i find it amusing hahaha
 
Gaboons are beautiful snakes to be sure, but I don't think they should be pets, ESPECIALLY for a 17 yr. old who is off doing so many other things besides worrying about his highly venomous snake at home.
 
Gaboon Vipers are native to East Africa, they are known for the horns at the end of their heads head. If handled properly you can handle them without a snake stick or snake tongs mines 2 yrs old and hasant shown any sort of agression but i still wear leather gloves wit FLEX-Metal in them to prevent me dying.

If you E-mail me i'll send you pics of my female gaboon "Bailey"
