Bitis nasicornis

My rhino viper that I rescued. I've always wanted one but I refuse to pay 350+ for one so I didn't think I would ever get one. It turns out I ended up getting one for $200 from a guy I know. He gets a lot of stuff then loses interest, so his loss is my gain.

Thanks.

Yea, this one wasn't in the best shape and I was going to wait to get him because I had some PVC cages coming in, but when I saw the condition I was like nope, he's coming with me. It's settled in nicely, since I got it I want to say Monday? It ate for me Thursday without hitch.

Thanks for posting pics[emoji4]

Very nice! Can you milk those venomous and sell the venom? I'm pretty sure there's big money in it for those that are brave enough!

Thanks all.

I'm sure you could sell the venom but it's probably a regulated business and other stuff involved. I know there's a place that a friend owns up North that milks venom and sells it.

Yea, he's been being temperamental lately. He loves to puff. I must say they're amazingly fast.

That's got to be a.top 3 choice of "hots" to own. Wish I could have one. He's amazing. Thanks for sharing. :gj:

Beautiful animal, good luck with him

Neal, please an update on this boy. Have you named him yet? :gj:

Pattern & coloration is totally stunning! Glad you were able to give him a more attentive home, too. :gj: (his lucky day!)

A friend of mine had kept asking about him so I no longer have him. I originally named him Kratos though. He's still doing good, I get an update every now and then when I ask how he's doing.

Yea, normally from that locale they don't hold the colors, he was the exception. I'm just glad I was able to get him and give him the proper care that he needed for the time that I had him.
