Arboreal Sidewinder

For some reason one of my C. cerastes thinks she is an eyelash viper. She seems to really enjoy hanging out up in the grape wood; I catch her up there quite often.

I've had a few that have done that over the years. Certain individuals seem more prone to it than the species in general in my experience. I've kept maybe 6 or 8 for long enough to have noticed behavior patterns.

They are really neat snakes.

Gorgeous snake! Gotta love those fierce faces! :D

All the better to strike you from above, my dear! :snake:
