Puff Adder and Rattler

[jdog1027]

Here is my old beast that would have landed me in either jail or a tomb, yes, that's my hand behind him as I tempt DEATH!

Me playing with a Timber Rattlesnake I caught on a drunken night at the local snake hunting spot

All the liquid courage in the world wouldnt persuade me to pick up one of those guys!! I do like to look at them though Beautiful snakes!

I'll lick it for a dollar (plus cost of hospital bills if any)...

I'd give ya 2 dollars if you licked him!!!! I don't think you can trip on Puff Adders

 

[Syn]

Who says I wanted to trip? Hahaha unless you mean tripping OVER it, then well, I'd be more likely to do that, yeah.

Lmao "SOMEONE LOOKS PRETTY HUNGOVER" nice

 

[jackscham]

Sorry, I have to do it........"You know you're a redneck when...." J/K jdog! Those are amazing looking snakes, however, I wouldn't get anywhere near one of those things. You obviously have experience handling them (at least I hope you do!)

How much do you fetch for a puffy over there? They are common in the wild here.

Actually, you don't fetch puffys over here too often legally. It is illegal to own venomous reptiles in the state of Alabama as of Sept. 2000. At the time, it was legal in Georgia (haven't checked to see if it still is). I knew someone who was offering it free to a good home because his wife was expecting. Even though it was illegal, I jumped at the offer, being the adrenalin junkie that I am. I met a guy at Dixie reptile show who was from South Carolina and he said he bred them and asked $80 for juvies. He was a 'handful' to say the least, and was quite a thrilling experience. A power outtage in my reptile room in the winter of 2006-2007 killed him. I wept:
