I personally feel they are a very dangerous snake due to their ambush nature which can be mistaken as calm or tame. They have a wicked fast strike 360 any direction out of no where without warning. Not only is the strike fast but the force behind it is also very impressive. Come feeding time I use F/T on 2ft tweezers and I am always impressed at the impact when they hit a rats. Also something else I noticed unlike cobras striking wildly at food the Gaboons will not and they never miss. Always accurate,
They are not bad snakes to work with but don't get complacent they will let you know where you made your mistake for sure. The over all size of an adult can be pretty intimidating and hard to work with due to weight on 2 4ft hooks can get rough on the wrists. As far as care of the Gaboon viper they are pretty basic. Moderate humidity and temps. I think the biggest care issues to worry about is over feeding and dehydration. Gaboons need to be soaked on the regular to help them go to the bathroom and also for hydration. Hope this helps some, All this info is just my opinion subject to change or be corrected. LOL I'm no expert.
