hey im moving to leicester end of the week im 21. I have been looking into getting a dwaa for a few years now but to be honest i would prefer if someone was kind enough to mentor me for a while first. Just teach me the basics untill im confident with them enough to buy one i would not want to buy one unless i was confident to do the necesary things so if anyone is kind enough to help me out it would be much appreciated either post a reply or pm me please thanx everyone

What species do you want to keep? My DWAL specifies what I am aloud to keep, not sure if that's the same for your new licensing authority or not?

As explained on the "do you love me?" Shocked thread is very difficult and expensive for people to have you insured to work in a collection.

As for your selection of snakes i would say no to eyelash vipers as they can be extremely grumpy, are harder to hook especially in a naturalistic setup and they can be a pain in the bum to feed.

However urocoan are an excellent species and as of 10 years ago were very rare. They are now readily available and reasonably priced. I have worked with them many times and they really are an excellent starter rattler. Atrox ARNT due to the size they attain and there fiery tempers.

Try your local reptile shops as i know when i worked at one the insurance covered me to work with everything in the shop. As you've already said don't get anything without knowing what your doing, its taken me nearly 2 years of experience with hots to get to my dwa.

Best Of Luck

Tom
