Re: West African Gaboon Viper
My eyes aren't deceiving me...This thing's head is massive & odd shaped!

Yeah mate, i keep a few species myself but as im from Australia we can only keep native wildlife. So i will never get to own any of the species you guy's can get your hands on!
In saying that i keep elapids, so i have mulga's/king browns, collett snakes, australian copperheads, death adders, tiger snakes and always looking for more!

The Elapidae, the most amazing family of snakes.. Im a big fan of browns, im very familiar with them. I don't have any plans to ever keep one but i have had the opportunity to work with one quite often. You have quite a collection... If you could own several species of non native's what would be some of your choices?

Re: West African Gaboon Viper
Yeah the elapids especially the bigger guy's are quiet intimmidating to work with as they are lightning fast and can strike readily with great force! Hmm tough question but gaboon's, both black and green mamba's, eyelash vipers, puff adders, king cobra's, spitters and diamond back rattlers. All those species intrigue me beyond my liking haha, but as long as im in australia that will never happen.
