Wow!!! So I can keep and breed these legally as long as I do not sell them.. But I can give hatchlings away to friends on CS.com hehe.. Very cool.. It doesnt say that I can't own Crotalus either.. ;)

Thank you so much Nanci for looking all that up for me :)

I know, its crazy how bad I wanted one and there one was that fateful night :)
 
BTW I am taking it to get sexed today :D Woohoo...

You know whats funny.. You cannot collect and breed AZ mtn Kings, but You can sell them here. How do they know you bought them and they weren't collected?
 
I will so get one when the time is right :D Not yet, I am not ready to start my hot collection yet ;) But its very tempting.. I'll wait... :)
 
Well let me find the opposite sex first ;) lol... But I will require anyone who gets one to do research on these guys and I will ask questions etc. Because they are mildly venomous and some people have had bad reactions. But this is wayyyyy in the future if it ever happens, so I will think more about that then :)
 
That is a sweet snake. Personally, as far as feeding goes, I would "starve" it for about 2 months. Of course always have water available, but dont feed it for 2 months. Then offer it a live fuzz/crawler. This method has worked for me for species that do not normally eat mice in the wild. Good luck.
 
In Utah the proclamation actually says you may not capture and keep penguins.

Duh.. they would cut your heart out.

LOL your funny...

Well first feeding attempt is unsuccessful. I will not resort to live or geckos yet since it is still quite early..
I might have to try your method Mike :)
 
Update... She is now eating FT mice hoppers :) I had to feed her geckos for awhile first.. Then, to get her to eat the mice I had to get her mad at them so she would strike them, then eventually swallow them.. ONly had thing is she bites me now lol. Oh well..
