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.

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..
