They're very nice, thanks for sharing ^^

I have to say I'm partial to the rat. I've never kept one, but they're thicker than toast on bread here - I don't know how many I chase off the roads in the summer.

Wow, with all that beauty I'd be hard pressed to pick which one is my favorite. Although that mamba sure makes my heart sing, I love the coloration of the Trimeresurus trigonacelphalus. What would its common name be, some sort of tree viper?

Is that you milking the Russell's Viper? I remember watching a show where Jeff Corwin had the chance to milk one and was he ever scared. So are they as aggressive as Jeff Corwin says?

Keep them coming, I love pics of snakes.

That black rat snake, is that E. obsoleta obsoleta or another subspecies?

And what is the Latin name of that Swamp Viper?

Greetings from the Netherlands.

Eyespy - The trigonacephalus is commonly called the "Sri lankan Tree viper"......i love these, i cant wait to get a pair of my own

Ron - The russel's are very aggressive and they are pretty difficult to milk, actually they tend to thrash so much that they have been known to break their back when pinned, thats why a tube is used.....and no thats not me :) maybe later

Alphonzo - ya that is E. obsoleta obsoleta and the swamp viper is <i> Protheris superciliaris </i> cool little guy eh?
good to see some europeans joining!
