Can anyone offer any specific difficulties encountered with nigroviridis relative to keeping eyelash??

Thanks in advance

Matt;

It has been years since I had any but we used to have both marchi and aurifer at the zoo and kept them just like the eyelash vipers. I dont recall any problems with either one. I know some people said that they should be kept cooler but ours were on the same shelf and did fine. They, especially seemed more nervous than the eyelash vipers, especially the marchi.

The babies that I raised were somewhat harder to feed than eyelash also but not a whole bunch. Just a bit more prone to drop food after you got them to hit it.

Good luck with them, they are lovely!

Thanks...forunately, I am receiving 3 yr old subadults(adults?). So they are established and shouldn't(knock on wood) have problems with feeding.

Thanks.
