Sure-you've got one of them deadly Hoggsters right? Just get him to chew your finger a bit (may take a while-being rear fanged)and let the GOOD TIMES ROLL 
Or do you have to lick them...or smoke their poop...chew their shed.... |

P.S. Did you know they're in fact rear fang species, and produce a small amounts of venom, to help them subdue the avian prey that one bit faster? ;-)
Actually I did not know that, no, thanks for the info :) It would definitely explain why a friend of a friend who recently acquired a pair of hatchlings experienced his whole arm swelling up when one of them tagged him; guess he had a slight allergy to the venom!
I hear an albino was recently bred that was a lovely pale green, but of course they're extremely expensive at the mo, if the breeder would even consider selling ;)

I am glad I can be my real, kinda' crazy self on here <3 |

Only a certain few people own them successfully.
Unfortunately ScaryVH I think you are mistaken; I believe this is a hatchling/young juvie greater Colombian smoke nose... It's an easy mistake to make as they do look very similar to common smokies when young, however at maturity (approx. 3 to 4 years depending on nutrition) they are much larger, and in the wild their principal prey is songbirds. Fortunately they will take frozen-thawed rodents if these are left in high places within the enclosure, though scenting food items may be necessary. The good news is they are much calmer and more placid than common smokies, and older, captive-bred specimens can even be trained to come to the hand for feeding. They do require a lot of flight room though, have specific high temp. and humidity requirements, and are difficult to breed, not least because no one has yet figured out a way to sex them without breeding them. Furthermore, their eggs are very sensitive to temp fluctuations during the early stages of incubation.
These are a difficult reptile best kept by an experienced herp keeper, but can be very rewarding pets. Unlike most reptiles they seem to enjoy social interaction and can be kept in small groups of 2 to 4 individuals.
