Atheris broadleyi CB 2011 female
I thought everyone might enjoy a few pictures of Xena, now that she is settled in. Xena is an Atheris broadleyi, or Broadley's bush viper. She was CB in 2011. I got her from my friend Shawn in Lancaster. She's a stunning little girl, very yellow...in fact, I'm not 100% convinced that there isn't a tinge of squamigera blood in her.
However, she is only semi-arboreal, and when she is angered (90% of the time) she flattens herself out like a pancake, both traits of broadleyi. She also has the blue tail.
Anyway, here she is:

Nice looking viper, Kim! Every time you post an animal here I can't help but remind you how great your taste is.

Re: Atheris broadleyi CB 2011 female
Thanks! I love these guys- their heavily keeled scales make them look like they are wearing little snake ghillie suits. LOL

Wow... gorgeous. One of these days I am going to hop into my truck and come see you. I want to see these guys in person (while they are locked in their cages) Lol. I think a 5hr car ride is worth it..

Re: Atheris broadleyi CB 2011 female
I will catch the pancake thing next time she does it...she only does it when really upset and I hate pissing her off, but it is unusual. She basically spreads her whole body flat like a hood. I've never seen anything like it.

Some time I will... Maybe when hubby goes on a hunting weekend outing with the guys I will head over your way. I will speak with him and then PM you to see if the dates will work out.

Lol, Snakeman. If your mom can eat one single potato chip, then she's got some impressive self-control.  She's a stronger woman than I am, lol.
