Irish venomous keeper here

[leeroytheboy]

Hi guys. I am a venomous keeper from Belfast dropping in after joining months ago and not really posting! Anyway, I keep a few rattlers-3 WDB'S 2 of which are a pair of albinos and a beautiful and very big timber (canebrake phase). I also got a little perengueys adder and a wee copperhead, mangroves and a gaboon.

Anyway, hope to make the aquaintence with some of you and in the meantime please swing by my venom forum. Dedicated to venomous stuff. Its over 18, and its starting to roll nicely. Take care and dont get bit.

Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like you've got some real nice snakes, and some of my favorite species! LOL
I actually only recently got into hots just a couple of copperheads until I get the feel for it. Look forward to seeing some shots of your stuff!
Will definitely check out the site!

Good man!
Copperheads are absolute stunning snakes. I love them! My little one is just growing nicely now. Still not to be messed with though. Did you WC yours or are the captive bred? If I lived in the states I gotta say, my field herping would just take over my life! No snakes in the wild in Ireland so I never have had the chance to go out herping.

Hope you enjoy the site man, lots of pics in there of guys who own australian stuff and some nice american stuff and european. I would love to see your copperheads. So get the pics in.

LOL, Yeah I think they are fantastic....though seems like they are rather under appreciated around here, probably because they are so common. They are C.B I got them from a buddy of buddy who breeds and works with a fair amount of venomous snakes. I believe these are Osage Coppers, though the area where the parents were collected from contains the Southern/Osage Crosses due to an overlap in range, but these do seem to have a strong Osage lineage.

Yeah I hear that, I was down in Missouri this summer and we must've trekked for MILES! Caught some glimpses of cotton mouths, red bellies, it was fun trip.

But yeah I will definitely get on the site and throw some pics up.
Later,
