Here is a pic of my reticulated gila.I'm not sure if I can post him in the for sale section,but if anyone is interested 800.00 picked up.
i think these are beautiful but my girlfriend said HELL NO no venomous reptiles that's where she draws the line!
I wish they were legal here to keep. A Gila Monster and a Gaboon Viper would be the only hots I would keep, if I had the space for either. I wouldn't even mind having a Beaded Lizard. Very nice lizard you have!
they are legal in texas im sure permits are possible to get
Here is a few of my old hots. 2.5 ft female Rhino Viper and a Baby Gaboon. I had them in High School and a few years after. My wife doesnt like them. I will them again one day.lol
Ive kept
1- Rhino Viper
1- Gaboon Viper
5- Northern pacific rattlesnakes
1- Death Adder
4- Waglers tree vipers
Nice pics...Gaboons are really cool and yeah they are just too damn fast sometimes without warning.My gila huffs once or twice then its on.......
The gaboons will look at you first. You can see their eyes focus on you. The worst was the death adder. I had to open its deli cup container with my hands.
I would love to have that gila but I need some permits here in Cali. Hots are my absolute favorite. I used to have 2 sidewinder, a southern pacific rattler and a dark maroon rattle snake that live where I do, but I could never pin down the sub species. I also volunteered at a hot rescue, they had gaboon, rhinos, a spectacle cobra, corals and a rinoXgaboon cross. Most of them were confiscated by the police and in Ca there's not to many venomous handlers so they got a lot of cool stuff. thanks for sharing
Thats cool I wish I could volunteer at a place that deals with hots..........You got any pics I'd like to see that cross
I'll have to look threw my pictures cause that was like 4 years ago, i was trying, still am, to get enough hours so I could get my handlers license but there like 45 miles away from me and I just didint have the time anymore. Plus as i said it was volunteer job so it was eating up my wallet but If/when I can Im gonna try again cause I still need like 1400-1500 hours aqnd I really want that license! I am also applying at a zoo by my house,kinda, and they have a hots exhibit so hopefully I can get in and earn the rest of my hours that way and get paid to do so.
Damn thats a lot of hours......Good luck in getting that license
in Ca you have to have 2000 hours/ 2 years before you can apply for the license. It sucks but it will be worth it. Just to get my falconers license it took 2 years and like 2000 hours, then i had to take the test, which by the way you can only take twice... in your life so you cant screw it up but again it was totally worth it.
this is my owl "Yue" it means moon
What a beautiful owl, I would love to own one some day. This goes to show you hard work pays off!
It is A LOT of hard work, besides running a reptile and amphibian exhibit, being a single father, taking care of my own collection of rep.& amphibians I spend 3-4hours a day with Yue. But it is all worth it, she is so personal and loving plus to have the kind of relationship with an animal, a bird at that, is mind blowing she even knows the difference between my footsteps and my roommates and she'll grip until i let her out so she can follow me around my house. She's definitely a character.
That's awesome I've been doing all sorts of research on falconry and I was going to go for my license as soon as I finished school just to keep a barn owl!

1-African BullFrog-Rex
1-Bearded Dragon-Stubble
1-Vield Chameleon-Pascal
2-Green Iguanas- LeeRoy and Spike
2- Sulcata Torts- Chunk and Scoot
1-Argentine BWxRed Tegu-Kirby
owls by far are my favorite for sure. Last year i rehabbed 2 other barn owls and a great horned owl. The GHO was on of the most amazing animals i have ever been around, its power was unbelievable. If you are serous about falconry i highly recommend it but you need a lot of time to spend with your bird
