Are you challenging Morelia to eat his shorts?? Surely not

yes ive 3 years to decide if i want one and by then ill have a proper setup for my snakes
as im saving p for a portable cabin for my snakes
and my brother that is widely interested in snakes will be my age
and will probly have his own snakes awell
so id have some help if ever needed bt if i do get a hot hard decisions will be made and thought of
and if my setup is not appropriate for hots then i dont think il get the dwa granted so even if im granted to get one
i still may not get one as huge dangers come with these snakes!!!

if you do it right i can help you with a few tips

Is it possible to have the tips shared?

lol thats wat i was thinkin

Is there any regulation on keeping hots in the republic at all?
I have had many chances to get hots for even free (friends bred them) but always turned down the offer, I just do not feel safe in the house if I know they are there. I don't care if I got bitten (my snake & my mistake), but could not handle if something happens to someone else...
The only hot animal I would consider to keep is a gila monster, they seem to be fun.

as in no specific DWA act for 'hots', but there are still regulations on animals kept by people (eg animal welfare, C.I.T.E.S where applicable, and the wildlife act).
The Wildlife Act has an interesting section in it that has never been enacted to date, but it does allow the minister of state to enact a section that allows confiscation of a specimen deemed to pose a danger to the native wildlife. But that could apply to anything, and not just 'hots'.
