I have a specific room for my stuff. I only keep hots now, and reckon that what I have will do me for a while....maybe....
I could never have got the licence here if the room was,nt pretty much purpose for the animals......

Though you may have been directing that question to trueviper???
That puff adder is incredible. Absolutely.

Ahhh...gotcha! You say that to me like its a perfectly normal thing to do....!!

My room is not big enough to let it roam free, and for me to feel comfortable. In fact, to me, letting these snakes do that is just not my cup of tea, sorry. Great that some of us can do it (trueviper has it perfectly in control), but I always think that its best to leave them alone if you dont need to be working with them. Even for moving them around I use shift boxes. These snakes are extremely fast and hugely powerful on the strike. They dont miss. My big guy is the most docile snake I have ever owned, but I am fortunate enough to see what he is capable of when he is feeding....very fast and aggressive, and from a seemingly sleeping state! His viv is big enough anyway.
