What an attitude!!!

Last night I decided to handle my little PeeWee (viper boa) for a couple of minutes. Well the little bugger definitely baptized me!!! He bit me about 4-5 times in 2-3 seconds!!!

Quite the attitude this tiny snake has! Barely 6" and acting like a little monster machine, it's hilarious!

What I find the funniest is that he didn't do this the times I held him at the reptile shop, of course!!! Is it that they know they are in need of a home and on best behavior? lol

Haha, here they don't care about needing a home. I took out a JCP and the bugger was lashing and lashing and lashing, I wanted to buy him after that. lol I figured, if that's the kind of behaviour, not alot of people will buy the poor guy.

I'ts a toss up who's more bitey our viper boas or our blood. from experience the vipers hurt more.

LOL viper boas are notoroius for packing quite a punch for their little size :p And yup, that's usually the way it works in shops. In stores sometimes the animals are lethargic due to cooler temps are improper conditions, or if everything is right, then it may be as simple as they are where they have grown accustomed to :)
