New gaboons.

Finally after almost 2 years of searching I have found a new pair of gaboons to add to the collection. I had been holding out for Bitis Gabonica. But after I saw these I just couldn't resist. :) I can't even begin to say how happy I am to finally have not 1 but a pair of spectacular Gab's back in the collection. And to top it all off this now means that I have now kept 4 of the 5 large Bitis. All that's left is bitis parviocula; maybe one day.
At any rate here they are....
My new pair of West African Gaboons (bitis rhinoceros)

Yup. You are correct! You can get permits and such to be able to keep them. Only certain places allow that tho.
