Hey T, I agree about the annies but I understand what they are trying to say. Get an agressive non venemous snake that will fight you all the way and if u'r happy with ceeping something that will try and kill you if it got the chance then go for it. Annies are free handled and hots in my opin should not be free handled. Also remember that it is the responsibility of the guys with experience to let us non-experienced members know what we're in for. For example, I thought I was ready for an anny but was sooo mistaken but I have 2 hots so far that I have no problem with. Can you imagine how any of these guys would feel if they said,"sure get hots and a month down the line you have either been bitten with serious consequence's or killed.
Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
