Cryptelytrops albolabris update pictures
My pair of white lips were in a good mood (for them) last night so I managed to get some half decent pictures. Now if they would just start eating on their own so I didn’t half to force feed them all the time life would be grand lol.

Ya it's not high on anyone's list of activities they want to be involved in. But unfortunately if you want to keep aboreal vipers its something that's hard to avoid because most will need it at least to start. The worst part is they were both feeding on live, but stopped for some reason. I've been trying different things with how there being kept. Hopefully I'll find something to trigger them back to feeding on there own soon.

No fun force feeding little snakes! I assume these are young? They look tiny. Fun snakes to keep.
I'm force feeding my male C.rhodostoma at the moment, female eats though! Pain in the arse.

Oh, yeah. That would not be fun. Those guys are awesome looking though!
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

Now that's what I call a pain. Just keeping Malayan's on a hook is enough to get your blood pumping. Haveing to actually put your hands on those little finger rotters is not my idea of a good time.
And yes they are still pretty tiny. They just moved up to whole pinks a couple of months ago.

Beautiful animals, I'm glad you posted this thread as I had not heard before that arboreal venemous tend to need assist/force feeding. We have always played around with the idea of starting up a nature center or small zoo and we would be adding venemous and large constrictors when we do.
Whats the process you go through to force feed? I'd imagine it would be much harder to do because of the fangs. With a python if you break a tooth or two its not a problem but breaking those fangs must be pretty life threatening to the animal. I'd imagine this just adds to the stress your feeling while doing it. Do you tube them to do this or snake hook them behind the head, etc?
Thanks,
