WOw!!! Gorgeous animals....I really love the rhino vipers, and your photography skills are awesome Louis!

Have you ever kept A. hispida? I would love to see one in the flesh someday, but they are not available around me.

WOW...Thanks a lot for your complements guys ! Really appreciate it !

@Rogue628, I haven't noticed any real difference in the horns when comparing sexes. But it does seem to have a lot (mostly) to do with the age and size of the specimen. Adults, like in my first two pics, have larger horns than those on hatchlings or younger specimens, like in the last pics. Just for interest sake, they are sexed by simply looking at tail lengths; males have long tails and female very short tails.

@Willow783...I have kept them before for about a week before they died. They tend to come in in a very bad way and thus do not last long. But I'm trying to get some soon and will post pics for you when I do.

Regards
Louis
