We bought a what the seller said was a bush viper and appeares to be a Atheris chloroechis and we are getting several diff, info on how this snake should be kept. One method told to us and reading in Snakes Enc. said to keep fairly warm in the lower 80ties and some humidity. The other method that we were told was real humid and moss with ventilation. What would you all suggest as far as humidity ( damp, having damp enough to have condensation , less damp ) and what about the moss. Would you think that spagnum would be okay and then would you suggest organic? Or how about a product picked up at Wally-World called green moss and the package says all natural and is used for decorate soil cover moss from a company called Schultz. Also we wre wondering about light? If this species prefers non-direct light or dim light or a situation of darkness. We are asking these questions because of the uncertainess of diff. info in some of the books.
