Btw, what type of viper is your avatar?[/COLOR][/FONT]

Atheris squamigera

Interesting info about the crix, I've never gut loaded and I've been breeding T's for 4 years. I'll have to read up

Gorgeous viper! Is it yours?

What T's have you been breeding? (I can guess OWs from what you said in another post. )

I'm no longer in the venomous game, I have two kids with another due any day now. I have kept Atheris in the past and they were neat little vipers. All of the tree vipers are cool - Waglers, Bush, Eyelash etc..

I've bred Tapinauchenius, Avicularia, Poecilotheria, and Psalmopoeus. I keep mostly OW stuff but 3 of the species I've bred are NW. Irony! My favs are the pokies, GBB and my Panama Blondes

Psalmopoeus pulcher

That is ironic. I had assumed OW since you mentioned keeping them.

Nice P. pulcher. Recently my P. irminia sling molted. I believe the poor bugger is deluded. Seems to think it is either a purse spider or a Haplo --- always hiding in its burrow and waiting until a cricket is actually dancing on its tube web before trying ot attack.

My irminia have huge dirt curtains and you wouldn't know they were there except for the little hole at the very top of the cork bark. Too bad they're hidey spideys, they're very attractive.
