My two venomous

So I've decided to take this turn in the road after years of deciding not to. I took what photos I did while unpacking, but I've been dealing with the flu and just starting to recover. I'll get some better photos of the cobra once I'm actually feeling 100%.

And the cobra

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences with those beauties. :gj:

Is that an annulata? I love those. Our venomous laws here seem to bu pulled out of a hat so I can't have one but they're so pretty and from what I've heard pretty mellow for a cobra.

Understand about the flu lol. Really nice, hope they bring you a lot of joy. Always wanted a hot. Awesome. Best to you.

It is indeed. I can't wait to watch her grow and work with her over the next few years.

I'm guessing the other is a baby bush viper? They are just freaking beautiful snakes... Waayyy too high risk for me, but they are gorgeous in my opinion. Best of luck, and stay safe.

Good stuff. Be careful with the new ones!

Very nice looking snakes and yes, do be extra careful.

Of course. Neither one has specific antivenin for the bite.

Looks great man!

Thanks. When I actually get my digital camera in I'll take some decent pictures of everything. I want to have photos as they grow.

I really like that bush viper what a deadly little cutie love the color really nice addition. And the one hooding up is pretty cool i assume its a cobra.

It is.

Both of them are settling in quite nicely. The cobra will be getting moved to a new enclosure soon, just waiting on my two other PVC enclosures to come in so I can figure out which I want to put where. Then after that I'll be getting another two built, one for the bush viper, probably something around an 18x18x20. Then later this year if the guy I want another arboreal viper has babies, I'll end up getting an identical one after his get established.

Then my last venomous addition will be a Desert Horned Viper(Cerastes cerastes). I'll have a chance to get some babies fresh out of the egg with these, but I'm not 100% sure that's something I want to deal with given how difficult they are as babies. I'll likely have to find a gecko source prior to doing this.
