Lovely looking C. atrox. Something always confuses me..... some of these people who keep venomous snakes, the ones who 'can't remember how many times they've been bitten' always have to 'free handle' the snakes. Why are they surprised when they get nailed?
I kept venomous species of many types for about twenty years. I never 'free handled' and I never got bitten. Seems sensible to me!
