Baby Gaboon!!

Awww I remember when ours were that small! Little worms with heads way too big for their bodies :)

I have noticed whenever the vipers we have kept ate, they would bite their prey and hold onto it till it was dead, then swallowed it in a few seconds.

I'm Pre-Vet and want to specialize in reptiles, so I imagine I'll get to eventually. Especially if I end up at one of the animal based theme parks. :P

That's awesome, hots are amazing animals to work with as long as you take all precautions and have your wits about you.

Yes, definitely. I would of course, have a mentor train me for a considerable amount of time before I'd feel comfortable working with them on my own. I don't think I'd own one personally, but I imagine some hot owner will need to take their snake to the vet eventually, and I would love to be able to confidently help them and treat their animals. :P

Its BEAUTIFUL!!!! :O I love those, theyre my favorite hot

Beautiful! I love the head shape and patterns on gabbys! :D

My absolute favorite hot! Someday/year I hope to have a couple, but that is faaaar in the future, considering I've only had BPs for a little over a year now, haha

awww just too cute!!

Cute. Gaboons are one of my favorite venomous.

Isn't it the gaboon that has the largest recorded fangs?

So cool! Their heads are just insane. Can you imagine walking around in Africa and seeing one of those?! Only, you would probably never see it because its flipping head looks exactly like a leaf. :O

Gosh they're pretty, but I would never EVER have the guts to keep one. I tip my hat to those of you who do, can I come over and stare at them through the glass for a few hours? ;)
