: The best "hot" snake for a begginner is the Trans Pecos Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortix pictigaster), in Reptile Hobbyist there is a good article with the best begginner hot, and this is the referred snake above.
I used to keep these guys and they always seemed a little more nervous than regular contotrix.
It seemed to me they were more venomous than regular contortrix. Perhaps I was wrong/misinformed?
They are very good looking snakes and the female I got dropped 3 babies about 3 months after I got her.
