5 minutes into “please don’t bite my face” and she gives you this look👀 Boiga gemmicincta. Hoping to breed this species but I get too scared she’s going to eat the male every season and decide not to🤣 she’s an extremely defensive individual and only handled for cage maintenance

Admirer but non owner questions

Hi all-

Snakes are beautiful, and I was just scrolling and looking at the various specimens.
Are permits required to own venomous snakes? Are there other legal requirements to owning?
And… I think the few Gaboon vipers I saw while scrolling were perhaps not pets, but maybe on display (zoo, etc…).
Are Gaboon vipers a rare choice for pets, and if so, why?

Thanks for any/all feedback🙏🏻

World's first Pastel Striped Copperheads?

Not to be confused with the "melted" stripe which is another recessive x co-dom combo that breaks up the stripe pattern. In these specifically the pastel is breaking up the pattern. Not sure ive ever seen the double visual produced before. Had a good turn around on this clutch, 20 total babies, all happy and healthy, looks like 2 normal stripes, 11 pastel stripes and 3 pastel het stripe and 4 normal het stripe.

How do I get into venomous species?

As of right now I'm a minor and live in NJ and have read that venomous snake keeping is illegal here, but I wanted to know how to pave a path in eventually keeping venomous snakes when I'm older?

Obviously I'll move to another state if it's illegal, but I also want to know what college course I can take to build a path to becoming an ophiologist and gaining experience to become a venomous keeper. I haven't found anything good online, and I'm REALLY interested.

What are the steps to becoming experienced, etc

Black mamba venom speed

It's unreal how quickly the venom of this species acts!

I don't understand how the prey dies in a few seconds and you can't say that it may have pierced some internal organ with its fangs because it's not a viper and it wouldn't have any way!
