Yep :) there's glass between me and them in this picture lol

Ooooo. I found a picture of the Rattlers!

The hell spawn intake photo. If I let go of his head, I was definitely getting bit. But he wouldn't hold still any other way. And that's a baby. He was I think less than a year old.

Bingooooo. "But my buddies, cousins, friends sister said ... *Insert really dumb thing here*" :banghead: we heard it ALL. Imagine doberman rumors on super steroids. "Oh yeah, but you can just suck the venom out ...". Often times we'd wonder how some of them were still alive. Ooo and the...

Gaboon and rhino vipers are very closely related :) their bonus is they're fat and slowwww. But they get quite large. The bite speed looks slow motion compared to things like rattlers. The biggest problem is antivenom availability state side. Because Florida is (or atleast was) a major hub...

Yes, based on the scale patterning/amount between the eyes, it's an eastern hognose. Yes, they come in a wide range of colors and degrees of visible patterning. Babies, which are what you typically see pictures of on Google, are prettier and better colored due to their size and age. There's also...

Also, there may be a sightings map for where you live. It's pretty cool. Some areas, while they technically have venomous species, you're insanely unlikely to ever actually see one. Like, we have Massasaugas in MI. I've *never* seen one in the wild and I've gone into some pretty harsh areas that...

Holding them by the tail - nooooo. Don't do that. They can still bite you. And some can definitely come back up or just tag you in the leg/stomach/etc. Yes, they do look the same. Grabbers rock. I've got hooks, but those take more confidence and experience. That's what we used for the...

I'm insane (or stupid ...) enough to just grab them by the head, but I honestly really don't recommend doing that for a species you're not very very certain is non-venomous. I'll have to wait for hubs to get home with the laptop. But I can say I feel confident that neither is venomous.

Anything venomous where you are is going to have fangs like the copperhead picture. Her picture could be the same species, kinda hard to tell because it's fuzzy. But no fangs = safe, in your area.

And that concludes today's lesson in Regalis is a snake dork :D

Lol!!! You can usually use a stick to pop the mouth open. Or grab them at the base of the jaw and squeeze. :D we used to do it to our Rattlers to check their fangs on occasion (they were live fed so we wanted to make sure they weren't broke or anything, though they will grow back). It's kinda...

Oh. And copperheads are NOT rear fanged. Trust me on this, their fangs are very much in the front :D I got to play with some once. Man, they sure can be pretty. There is a lot of misconception about rear fanged species. Most of them are pretty harmless to humans. The few that have strong...

I'm honestly thinking it's a type of pine/gopher/bull snake. It's size, shape and the hooding up all fit. They like to hood up like that. It's obviously not a cobra :p for starters, a cobras hood is wayyyy bigger. Kinda looks like maybe a gravid female, the back 1/3 is quite large, which...

Just an FYI - hognose are harmless. The rear fanged thing is a bit of a myth. They're not harmful to humans (been bit by lots of them) and that looks way too big. Hoggies are pretty short and have very distinctive patterning that this fella lacks. And I agree that the head looks wrong shape...

LMAO. My boys found a kitten last summer while camping with my mom. I was dead set against keeping it .... Yeah, he came home. Unfortunately, I can't get the dogs to not try to eat him (these idiots didn't grow up with cats ...) So he's going to be living with hubs two brothers and their Rott...

I've seen this in soooo many dogs and agree that its likely a prey drive thing. Do you do any mind games? Wearing him out with those *before* a walk may really help. My old neighbors chi/mutt thing would get out and chase cars down the street. Always made me cringe. But that dog had zero...

He's fine. He most definitely does NOT need satin balls. He's still a puppy, what your friend is mistaking for being underweight is just lanky puppy stage.

Most of them looked better 100 years ago. I cannot believe how deformed bulldogs are becoming. It's sickening. And how obese people insist on keeping already physically deformed bulldogs. Makes my blood boil. I'm not one to be for banning dogs - but I almost wish they'd ban breeding bulldogs...

Nope! There's absolutely no reason to give flea stuff to an animal that doesn't either a) have fleas or b) is high risk for exposure to fleas. And even then, there are other options that pesticides to deal with fleas IF your dog gets them.
