Those containers make me nervous; why not keep them in something deeper so you don't risk getting bit opening it, or while struggling to get it to stay so you can get the lid on?

@rubykiss555 i guess more for his convience, chuck had me takin care of some adult timbers he had cramed into boxes that small before this incident. i hated the. For transporting after sale, ok fine, but not for keeping adult animals an i wouldn;t have personally used them for something like this, nor would i have let someone sit at the table with them..

I like the Alabama one thats nice..

[ladybloodrose]

@thedork48 yea he had some nice coppers

[ladybloodrose]

@KottonmouthVenom yep thats him. 

[ladybloodrose]

@S0XF0X that was always his take on it all or "So" and "i don't care" makes me wonder if he cared after.

[ladybloodrose]

@Ediferiousrex lol

@ladybloodrose I remembered coming across this video last year and purposely just looked it up again...That's the same Wade that's making all the news right now, isn't it?

[S0XF0X]

@Ediferiousrex I'm sure he was a nice enough fellow, and a shame his family has to suffer his loss. However, when working with venomous snakes, you cannot allow yourself to make too many mistakes, and he seemed to have the faulty mentality of, "Eh, won't happen to me." A shame, really.

@S0XF0X Darwinism failed this time - he's reproduced twice...Hopefully the mothers can train those boys to have some common sense. All in all, his family is wonderful. I don't know where he went wrong.

[S0XF0X]

@Ediferiousrex Judging by his apathy around these animals in this video, he had it coming. It wasn't that he didn't understand, it was that he didn't care to exercise caution. Aww, Darwinism wins again.
