It was late last night when I was posting that and I originally had names with the animals, but TWICE while posting the message I accidentally hit the back button and had to start the post all over... the third time I did all of my writing into a text editor and copied the post over to the forum.



The E. multisquamatus is a really neat animal. But I'm sure as anyone that has kept Echis before can testify, even a slight breach into their strike range is going to result in a bite. Luckily this little girl rides hooks rather well so I'm able to stay way out of strike range. Their strikes leave no room for error and no time for reaction without a doubt.



The moojeni can be crazy at times. That female has a certain spot in her cage that she sits about 90% of the time. I've shown many people the dangers of feeding response with that animal. I *always* open that cage with a snake hook, as she will strike out wildly nearly every time I open that cage. When it comes to feeding time both of the moojeni will actually catch food before it hits the floor of their cage. The female hits with such force sometimes that she'll bust guts out of the rats. I do feed them rats, but I feed them small rats. In my limited experience with Bothrops it seems as if small meals every so often make for a much healthier snake. I honestly think most Bothrops would eat themselves to death if given the opportunity. On a good note, these moojeni have settled down a little with their larger size. When they were 2-2.5 ft long they were pure hell on scales. I must admit though that these moojeni are not mine as they are on loan to me, but hopefully someday I'll have a nice set to call my own.
