Re: Why do these need to be venemous =[
No pictures for me either! But i agree it's a shame some animals are venomous... Keeping hots isn't my thing, but i sure love their looks!

Re: Why do these need to be venemous =[
Venomous snakes really are amazing. I keep and work with over a dozen species of vipers, and I find new favorites all the time. They all have personality and each one is unique!

Awesome. Do you work with any that have been posted in this thread? I'd love to see a rough scaled bush viper in person...

Re: Why do these need to be venemous =[
The bush viper in question, Atheris hispida, doesn't survive in captivity- no one has been able to get them to feed.
I do keep Gaboons, puffs, rattlesnakes and various arboreal vipers. I'll post some:
Hybrid bush viper:
C. insularis:
Eyelashes:
Purple mangrove vipers:
Habus:

I heard gaboons can move very fast.(not just striking, but getting from one place to another)

Re: Why do these need to be venemous =[
Gaboons are ambush hunters- they can lie still for weeks, but are capable of very quick movement when they want to. The strike is faster than your eyes can register, so there's no getting out of the way if you're too close. They can also fold over backwards or throw themselves an entire body length in any direction, or jab their fangs through their bottom jaws to get you. For the most part, they are fairly placid, as long as you don't give them a reason not to be. A frightened or hurt Gaboon is a very dangerous thing. I love them, but I never let myself forget what they are capable of.
