fair play.

To be honest I think I may prefer them that way, no temptation to break any of my rules that way!

Only thing I need to experience myself now is how the little buggers ride hooks.

When your boa pops, if you have any slugs, try without puttin the hook 'through' it to keep it on the hook, then imagine it's small, it's yellow and it's rapidly strikin in your direction with a mentally long strike distance for it's size and quite an impressive strike speed.

Thats how the work on hooks

the ones I have been around havnt even been that bad, the hardest bit is removing an aboreal viper from its tank, same as any aboreal snake, but once on a hook they just grip it, and you wont ever be within strike range anyway, well you shouldnt be. I cant see how they are harder than any other aboreal hot really, as long as your sticking by the same general rules.

Hi all,
I keep my Eyelash Palm-Pit Vipers the same as arboreal Trimeresurus.
They do have a long striking range and tend to strike at anything that comes within range. I would not regard them as aggressive, but they are willing to strike. I have observed my animals drinking from their water bowl, so I have one in their tank all the time. I also spray them once every two days.
As for eating, I bought them in October, last year, when they were about 7 inches long, they are now about 14 inches long, and get fed every 7 to 10 days, and they have never refused food yet. They take two fuzzy mice each. I do not think they are any harder to keep than any other Tree Viper. I have just transfered them into a Herptek arboreal tank which is 24 inches square by 40 inches tall. This I consider big enough for an adult pair.
All the best,
Brian.
