danbo Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k0Lg5-ssu0 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!

Greencoachdog Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 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!

danbo Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) 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... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K61Cv2e04x4 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"...
