I love C. Rhodostoma. Hope to work with them one day. Did you find any other good hots when you were there and how easy is it to find them in a country like thailand? i always imagine it would be harder than you think!

not as many venemous as we were hoping, a few cryptelytrops here and there, but mostly rear fanged and other non "hots".
if you go to the right places with the right intensions then your pretty unlimited to what you can do.
and yes it is a lot harder to find snakes than people may think, not as easy and lifting up a rock and there it is like the tv makes it out to be.

I have to say that I fell in love with this viper when I did work experience at London Zoo. Should I ever get a DWA, this is one species I would be keeping. Truly stunning snakes.
