Just thought I'd pick a somewhat uncommon species in captivity and see who here if anyone is keeping them...I've always been a big fan of Lachesis, and just want to see who all is keeping this great animal...if you have some, post your pics!
This always a snake I wanna to have, I'm going to get a lachesis melanocephala next year finally. Talk to some keepers before, captivity similar to many south america pit vipers but a bit drier set up. I'll post some pics when I get one.....

Are they kept a lil cooler than most south american crotalids? Just wondering, since they are further down south.

Yeah, Lachesis regularly go for well over a grand. In fact, I've NEVER seen one for cheaper than a grand. It's a snake I'd consider getting eventually, but there are plenty others ahead on the list.
