Not in the slightest. She will pretty much strike at anything that comes in her cage directed at her.

I also have no problems with her being able to drink. Alot of people say that this species of snake will not ever drink from a stagnant water source. The only reason why they don't is because they don't recognize it. Once its been shown to them they will utilize it. as you see here:

Is the water source youre talking about the green leaf looking thing curled up? Is there a way I can get mine to drink from a water dish? He still hasnt eaten yet and I've had him for about a month almost. He still seems active at night, maybe just not hungry yet. Can you get a pic of your eyelash vipers cage?

Yes... and yes. It takes some time, start off by presenting a water source in very close proximity to the eyelash vipers normal path.

The leaf water dish for glass enclosures is available online and at some popular pet stores. An easy way to fix the problem your going to realize you have as soon as you get it, is to place a large water dish on the enclosure floor under the leaf. This way you can just pour fresh water into the water source everyday and the old water will drain to the bottom where the snake doesnt venture. This way you wont disturb the snake on a daily basis to change water he may or may not be drinking. As you can see here my viper will rest in the dish when its not filled with water:

Just shed also retained nothing. Her pink/reds are really starting to show.

I hope to some day add all the colors to my collection.
No hots yet. Working toward my hook handling.

On a plus, I have never been bitten by a snake, and I own retics, boa's ij etc.
