Re: Gaboon Birthday
Thanks all! Once she drops her skin we will grab another shot and get some super slow motion feeding videos up!

Re: Gaboon Birthday
Last nights feeding. No video yet as she's kind of skittish and wants to feed in the dark.
And a new macro shot.

Re: Gaboon Birthday
Thanks! If I could keep venomous it would certainly be bitis. I like the fact that she'd rather feed in the dark.
Stay in peace and not pieces.

They are an incredible species. People seem to jump on keeping them rather quickly treating them like a beginner species. Not that you seem to think so! But for others reading it's best to note that any Bitis are an advanced venomous. The bite is highly medically significant. Their speed is explosive. Their strike range is unprecedented compared to American vipers or cobras. And their needs are pretty strict. Add on the fact that antivenin is not entirely easy to purchase, and one bite could give you a permanent allergy to the AV so a second bite from any Africans species requiring SAIMR could be fatal.

Re: Gaboon Birthday
It's grow time. She's finally settled in fully and taking food without question.

Yep. Problem is with her only being comfortable eating in darkness getting video is a challenge. I'll have to get her at least use to striking with the lights on and it won't be a problem.

Re: Gaboon Birthday
Getting ready for a drink last night
Bitis will rarely drink on their own as they typically rely on coming upon water on accident or during rains in the wild. So placing them in their water once a week usually gets a good drink out of them. Sometimes you want to gently push their head in water to encourage drinking. I had missed the beginning where she was chugging water. But wanted to show a little more insight.
