Kyle I actually did take a picture of the hypo fer-de-lance. It was gorgeous, but very aggressive from what my friend said.

Re: A rare gem - Cryptelytrops macrops
I don't really have the desire to touch them, because I know what the consequences of a bite could be. They also get really upset about being removed from their cages, so I feel badly when I have to get them out to clean.

Re: A rare gem - Cryptelytrops macrops
She is not terribly snappy, but she has taken a few swings at me. She is alert and cautious, much like all the Cryptelytrops I've worked with. The purple mangrove vipers are insane, but the other species tend to simply be very very alert and follow your every movement.

Re: A rare gem - Cryptelytrops macrops
Thanks Shaunyboy. Actually, there are no reported human fatalities from a macrops bite, although not much is known about them. They are fairly rare snakes in the US, but even in their native lands they cause swelling, bruising, systemic illness, and occasionally mild necrosis (blood blisters and the like) but are not usually fatal. One can have an allergic reaction, or coagulation problem with your blood following a bite and die from even the mildest viper, though, so it's best to always treat them with utmost respect.

from the little ive read...
the fer-de-lance is one of the smartest snakes out there,always watching waiting for a keeper to make a mistake,also it's very fast when it comes to both moving around and striking you
i have nothing but respect for hot keepers (the ones that do it correctly)
cheers shaun
p.s.thanks for the macrops info
