It makes your hair stand first time you meet it!

Mine's bigger than in this video & eats a mealworm a week! I named it "SPIKE".. yikes!

It originates from western Africa. Keep it in damp mulch & warm.

You keep a hideout in the tank where it can feel secure & dark.

The venom is equal to a nasty bee-sting..but I aint about to test it!

Dammit Man!!!

 

Those things are absolutely disgusting!!! The only way I'd handle one is with a garden hose to spray it off the bottom of my boot!

 

Prolly make a fine Catfish bait though!

 

Enjoy your new pet Bubba!

Yowza Ha ha haa..it is truly the freakiest thing I ever did! I doubt I'll be kissing it "Goodnite!"

 

I also got an adult one of these yesterday, too...

He's friendly & cute..just like me!

You pick it up about a foot from the tail. It wraps around yer arm pretty tight. Sorta like a semi-firm handshake.

Its all muscle & you kinda let it go/do what it wants in your hands.

They originate from northern Mexico.

It eats one adult mouse/week & I keep it in a 30 gallon tank with a super-secured lid..

 

At least they don't bark....I named the snake "Cuddles"...

And I told your wife you wanted the aquarium for kittens. She'll never trust me again!
