Hello Everyone,
This is my first time posting on here.. just a quick question.
I purchased an eyelash viper from a show I was vending at and she has very defined white lips, I got her to eventually breed with my male which has no white on his face what soever, so I'm worried that she may be a different subspecies and would not want to breed her if so. Or is this a random gene where some have white lips and some dont? Any suggestions?
p.s the first picture is of my actual male, sorry its not a good pic, took it in a hurry and the second picture is not mine but thats a good example of what her lips look like, she almost seems to have a different head structure as well, any help would be appreciated!!!

thanks:)

Hello and welcome! Wish i could help. You have a couple of really beautiful snakes. Do you keep any other kinds of reptiles? If so we really love to see pics.

Crazy coloration is pretty much the norm with them and I don't know of any subspecies of Eyelash vipers. Good luck on your breeding attempts and you'll need LOTS of patience feeding those babies!

I miss mine!
