Bush vipers

[dave himself]

Although I love venomous snakes I don't think I would ever have the confidence or nerve to keep any. However I am in a position were I do get to see them from time to time in the flesh, these are some of the most beautiful snakes I've seen

Whenever I see pictures of bush-vipers I seriously consider the possibility...

[Madness420]

They are so cute!

[Madness420]

i wouldnt call them cute... bad *** is more like it

[pet_snake_78]

My state doesn't allow venomous except to nature centers and I am not even sure if they can have exotic venomous or not. Sad because so many beautiful venomous snakes like bush vipers and eyelash vipers are a treat to look at. I probably wouldn't keep any myself either way, but wish I at least had a choice in the matter.

They are so cute!

Bush vipers are awesome little snakes. I've been lucky enough to keep several species over the years- Broadley's bush viper, green leaf bush vipers, and horned bush vipers. Right now, my only bushy is a hybrid- 50% squamiger x 50% Broadley's bush viper. She's an incredible little snake, light minty green with each scale tipped in brown and her tail area is more teal. She also has the coolest giant dragon-y eyes!

I love bush vipers. One of the coolest looking snakes bar none.

[Will0W783]

Here she is, my Atheris squamigera (variable bush viper) x A. broadleyi (Broadley's bush viper) hybrid. I LOVE this girl. She grows like a weed, eats like a champ and just has the coolest look to her!

LOL, anyone is welcome to PM me to discuss dropping by for a visit. :)

[Koosman09]

Willow783 I have the exact snake our bushies look identical .. Wooow ! So give me some advice picked him up last week in Hamburg PA. How's there eating haven't got him to eat yet.

[Will0W783]

Koosman09, my bush viper is the only survivor from her litter as far as I know; she's a hybrid. Is yours a pure squamiger?

[Pareeeee]

There really is no such thing as "too many" Atheris photos. Great pics everyone, I love these little guys! Keep the photos coming!

[Koosman09]

Anyone have advice on getting a bush viper - Atheris to eat. He seems very healthy and active but won't eat. I tried pinkys hoppers etc. I did get him last week from and expo and hoping he's still acclimating... HELP! I hate when my snakes don't eat :(

[Eggplant]

They're kinda adorable in a dorky way but their raised scales make me feel kinda queasy.

[Koosman09]

Set up an account on an image hosting site (like imgur.com or photobucket.com) and paste the links with the here. That's all I do, way better than using attachments.
