Always being an elapid-oriented person when I was big into hot keeping, I never really made it to this forum often. I officially got out of hots mid last year, but a month or two ago I decided I wanted a nice looking snake that was fairly low-maintencance and made a good display. Obviously, the Bitis vipers first came to mind. I decided to get a gaboon, which was a species I've always respected and admired, and also thought about getting a rhino to go along with it. So a few weeks ago, I bought an '05 female WA gaboon and an '05 male rhino from Glades. I'm raising them together, and though I'm not going to put any major effort into getting them breed, I figure eh, if they do, they do. I certainly wouldn't mind having a few hybrids pop out, but I'm not going to fret over it if they don't breed. I never thought I'd really like vipers this much, but I must admit, I'm really enjoying these guys. They are much less stressful to mess with than the elapids I used to keep. These are probably going to be the only hots, and only snakes actually, that I keep for quite a while, but I think they'll be great display animals. Enjoy the photos.
