Pygmy Rattlesnake: How To Care & Setup Guide

[@Hogstrictors]

Hey man, great video. Although I understand why, Im surprised by the lack of venomous care guides on youtube. We dont want just anyone thinking they can safely and properly care for a very dangerous animal. Iv been keeping snakes for 20 years (mostly boas and colubrids) and recently got my first venomous, a neonate southern pacific rattlesnake. He is doing great so far and has ate all 3 times iv attempted to feed him, so he feels secure and "happy". Anyway thanks for all the content and im bingeing it now.

I caught one of these little guys in the pan handles of Florida and he did well. When I caught him he was the size of a half-dollar. Before I got rid of him for legal reasons - he was eating full grown mice.

They are such an rewarding species! But have you ever looked into actually getting a permit?

Great video

Thanks for the visit!

Do you have a care guide for Copperheads

[@JosuesExotics]

Yes I do actually!

[@willm4187]

I live in GA so this one of the six species we can have legally(and IMO the coolest). How are they with handling? Are they easy to control on a hook or tongs? Which brand do you recommend?. And where do you get these guys? I could catch one ig but are they ever at shows? thanks

[@JosuesExotics]

They are not the best one for handling. They do not stay on hooks well either. But I would recommend having both hooks and tongs to be honest! But you just have to look online and check everyday to see if someone posts about selling them!

[@lisakane6708]

would sand be better for the snake to move around on?

[@JosuesExotics]

Maybe so. It’s just such a heavy substrate to use!
