Re: Introducing little Misty!

Yep, can't cuddle these guys- they are adorable, but they'll cause a lot of pain. Eyelash vipers generally aren't lethal (they can be in some cases), but the severity of a bite varies with each person, the size of the snake, and how much venom it injected.
Their bites respond well to Polyvalent Crotaline Antivenom (Cro-Fab and the like), so there's good treatment, but I still wouldn't want to get hit.

They are cute little buggers though, and they stay cute- they look adorable even as adults. Pudgy cheeks and little eyelash-type scales. They look like little divas....and they act like it too! :-O

im assuming you'd have to keep all antivenoms for the kinds of snakes you have in your house at all times, yes?

I have far too much fun handling my snake, i'd get killed with a HOT lol

No, very few hots keepers will keep their own anti-venin for various reasons. I don't think Kim does either.
