Default White Lipped Vipers

Hello Everyone!

Well our local reptile show has come and gone once again. It was really to hot and alot of vendors didn't show up but was a good show all in all. I got to meet Viperkeeper the guy on your tube that does all the videos. His real name is Al Cortze anyway a really nice guy very educated and helpful.

Well enough of the jibberish here's some pics I manage to find 1.1 for a decent price. Hope to breed these guys someday for now I'll watch them grow.

That is one stunning creature....I really really hope to have one of those babies one day

That face and that mouth...those red tails are amazing too......if i had a choice of one viper and only on eit would be this one.....it was the one that turned my head as far as vipers are concerned and really got me interested in them...

Stunning just stunning (what size is she at the moment?)

The larger one is about 20-22 inches I'd guess and the smaller one is around 16-18 inches. There both yearling I lucked out finding them only one other one at the show and it looked sickly. I missed these guys a few times then a friend called me and told me the vendor had baby Naja pallida so I went over to look the reds were not as bright as I was looking for so I didn't get them but in that process I happened to see these guys buried under another species tree viper in a glass case. I snagged them up for $120 usd for the pair. So I got pretty lucky. They used to be a really common snake and very cheap but now adays they are getting a little harder to find and with that the cost is going up. These were right on though.
