This is the most beautifull snake Ive ever seen!!

At most the contrast has been adjusted. I have seen B. nasicornis in person that were very similar in color.

Rhino Viper/B. nasicornis

Gaboon Viper/B. gabonica

Both are very beautiful species, but Rhinos have my heart.

It's not a Gaboon, it's a Rhinoceros.

Indeed, though I can see where the mistake could be made.

The pattern is EXTREMELY similar.

Wow Michelle, where did you see one?!

A friend in Nashville has a trio of them. In person, they are absolutely stunning. I mean, the photo of that animal in unreal, but in person they are out of this world as well. If I ever got into hots, they'd be on the top of my list.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to have some sort of license or something to purchase hots?
I mean, that's what I always assumed as they are incredibly dangerous. D:

It's all really dependent on your State, County and City regulations. In most cases, no you do not have to have a license to own hots. It is limited how you can ship them, Delta Dash and a few others are the only ones who allow hot shipments. Unfortunately, It's actually extraordinarily simple to acquire venomous reptiles, arachnids, etc.

My favorite hot claims another victim...

Mine too! lol. That one and the albino monacled.

I'm pretty sure that is a "Gabino". The Gaboon x Rhino's look just like that one in person.

I thought at first it might be a "Gabino", but the head looks a bit off.

That snake is also a baby..... Think of it like a baby Axanthic they are bright grey when babies but turn lighter to a brown color when older.... I dont think they photoshoped the snake they are trying to sell it for $135.....

it definitly not a gaboon its a rhyno and I've seen some spesimens that had very deep coloration like this one
