Hi:

Watch this video I shot of a Western Bush Viper juv. Tease the eyelash viper like seen in the video. Remember 2 things:

1) It's a pit viper so make the food item hot, not enough to burn it's mouth but a good heat signature.

2)Tree vipers have an extraordinary strike range, make sure your tweezers are long enough to stay out of it's jaws.

Good Luck,

Al
