I think my point was missed. I said tree vipers would be a better choice because they are easier to work with without needed to handle them with even a hook. It is much easier to change substrate when the snake is on a branch you have set off the ground. I see the point where AV would be harder to come by but my advice was more toward something where you can lower the risk of being near the snake. If i can avoid even hooking a snake I am much happier and if the snake is off the ground I can just take the substrate and water dish out with tongs. My opinion and I knew it would be shot down because of high risk LD-50's. I would have said sidewinder but I keep all tropical snakes so I think about them more. And yes, there are many Tree pit vipers that get bigger but white lipped and popes are very small.
