[Bogertophis]

Right and it's a matter of opinions. I think bush vipers are the best looking snakes because of the way they remind me of a dragon. I had two but I wanted to solely focus on cobras because I can't work with vipers in the same with I can with cobras. Every cobra I've ever worked with will let you know what kind of mood it's in, a viper you can't really tell and if you get within striking range, you're likely to get bit.

As far as keeping, yes I think may people shouldn't keep because of either lack of being prepared or in some cases they get them for the wrong reasons.

I'm partial to rattlesnakes & they can be read & even influenced once you understand them. Don't get me started- I've known quite a few as they were native where
I used to live in the desert. I've only known one cobra, an albino monocled that was venomoid with every reason to have the attitude she came with. "Moody" would
be an understatement, but not her fault...the guy she came from was a disrespectful jerk. Bush vipers ARE pretty adorable...
