To All: Thanks for the input. I appreciate you all standing up for what you believe in. My intent was to get some info BEFORE I even made a decision. I said I was INTERESTED,not that I was going to do it. I really didn't know where to start looking for info or who to ask. The wildlife people in my state are pretty stupid in my opinion. I had a game warden tell me it was okay to kill "spreadin' adders" (hognoses) and turkey vultures. See where I'm coming from? I expected some negative responses so my feelings aren't hurt. I did not say I had snakes for sale. I'm not interested in depleting our area of cottonmouths,though most people would love it if I would. My husband has experience handling all sorts of snakes, including venomous. He is not abusive. IF,and that is a BIG if, we decided to milk snakes they would be handled with great care. Not milked into a jug covered with a burlap sack! Even idiots know how dangerous that is to the snake! Oops! Did I cut someone down? I am not some bimbo that is looking for a quick buck. You can't do that with animals of any kind. Too much for upkeep and time. Guess you all misunderstand me. But that's okay. Can't be liked by everyone! Anyway, thanks for all of the input. I know what kind of market there is for boas,pythons,ratsnakes,kingsnakes,etc. Just didn't know what kind of market there was for common hots. That's why I have y'all!
