Hot Snake Permit Questions

[Venomman20]

I don't know who this 'VenomMan20' is, obviously, but definitely he's one of those idiots that, on my book, has the brain infested by B.dubia and other various roaches

I mean, you are living in a U.S state where it's illegal to keep venomous snakes, check. 'You' keep venomous snakes, check. And then 'you' even upload your crap on the Internet where everyone can see? Check.

What happened to the mighty ancient Italian way of doing things? The 'Pssht! Say nothing' mentality? Mah...

I'll be honest I have never seen anyone say so much about something they know nothing about. That's ok im here to educate. I was the director of the herpetology department at the local zoo. When I found out they where selling the animals we bottle rasied to trophy farms I exposed them to the employees. Many keepers quit i got fired. The animals I moved there with was on loan to the zoo for permitting reasons. After quitting they gave me a week to move everything. Stuck between a rock and a hard place I broke a dumb law in a dumb state. I was in the process off moving back home but moving by yourself across country is tough. No worries I now manage the rarest reptile collection in the world outside of the Moscow zoo.

Anyone who keeps hot snakes in an apartment building is a selfish fool.

So where is this uber rare collection we are supposed to be impressed by? Apartment 3B?

I don't need you to be impressed by anything. I was just trying to let everyone know the story didn't end on a crappy note. Even when you are in your darkest time things will get better. The uber rare collection is at an undisclosed location (Apartment 12a)

Out of curiosity, would Pseudohaje goldii, Pseudohaje nigra, or any Atractaspis sp reside in said Apartment 12a?

Ahahahahah, true. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Think, not only I don't know you, but I do even live far, far away from you. Isn't the Internet and those forums amazing, my man? Uhm?
Admit this: A part of you laughed a bit when I've said "brain infested by B. dubia (in Italic, ehi)!

With that said, I apologize.

I used to keep Atractaspis. goldii is a dream none have been kept stateside in about 9 years. Although there was a pair that was imported almost 6 years ago both died at the importers. I have never seen or heard of nigra stateside. Right now my focus is on bushmasters. L. melanocephala is my lifes work as of now I really have a strong focus on all Latin American pitvipers. In 2020 we bred B. Lanceolatus for the first time in the US since 1901 when Raymond Ditmar did so while he ran the Bronx zoo. Hope this made sense im falling asleep as I write lol.

I appreciate the apology. Not many people do such a thing now days. The brain infested by dubia hits home lol. I just started breeding large quantities of roaches this month. Finished out the roach room last week. I thought while reading this maybe you had some mystical powers. Seeing from that far away my roach endeavors. Sorry to come off hostel at first I just never really got to say my side. I just watched any image I had made for myself go up in flames like burning man at the festival. So I figured I might aswell voice my side

Now that's a name I haven't heard in awhile. I knew Ditmar had a fascination with Lachesis sp., I didn't know he also worked with B. lanceolatus (or atleast I don't remember, it's been a minute since I read Eatherely's book). Vis a vis Pseudohaje sp, I knew it was a long shot, but I had to ask. I've heard/read all of this hype about their speed, demeanor, and venom potency, but I've never actually talked to someone with first hand experience. I mean, I don't even think I've seen a picture of P. nigra...

@Venomman20 dude how did you even know about this thread and that you'd been mentioned? Have you got insiders here or just regularly Google yourself?
