Poor thing looks like he was skinned at a round-up...I'll take mine with scales, please.

I think that scaleless rattlesnake is gorgeous. Or as people say up here in almost MA (I am from NYC and Southern CT - where we talk like New Yorkers), "Wicked Awesome."

You should definitely get some close up photos with the bothrops, so kidding.

Last minute addition this week! Bitis nasicornus Cameroon locale. Known for their extremely long horns, bright colors into adulthood showcasing primarily reds and yellows. With subtle blues being shown on the head and dorsal region.
We have 2 new Naja arriving this week! So stay tuned.

I could never keep one of those but the colors and patterns are incredible.

Our Bitis rhinoceros have been courting for a couple weeks now. While Gaboons are super common for import, I am hopeful we find success in our pairing as the male and female we have raised for a few years are some of the best examples of the breed I have seen.

Looking good.
Nice to see you here and WOW the new addition is really something!
Morning cleanup with one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. Also a quick reminder to never use bare hands for cleaning viper feces. Gloves or a scoop! Notice the shiny shed fang just sitting there waiting to shank an unsuspecting finger.

Something most people would NEVER think about. :gj: It always amazed me just how many shed fangs I saw in my rattlesnake's feces...amazing because fangs are so
sharp, yet they pass harmlessly thru their digestive tract & out the "other end". I'd hesitate to feed hairless rodents for this reason, I suspect that it's mostly the hair that
functions as "fiber" and sweeps out any fangs that came loose & were swallowed during their meals. To put it in human terms, that's like us swallowing a toothpick with a
meal, & we know from medical records that often doesn't end well. Snakes have awesome adaptations, when you consider that swallowing a fang isn't a one-off either-
fangs get replaced many times thru-out the snake's life.
Back into Gabinos! These 1.1 are F2 meaning both parents were Gabinos. True USCBB. So excited to have these! Produced by a close friend.
