Anyone keeps these? I was given an adult male 13 years ago by a pet shop owner who said it was scaring customers by hissing and striking the cage front. It remains an e-vile animal to the point that I use a hook to manage it while doing maintenance. 
It occurs naturally where saw scale vipers are found and, from it's demeanor, I would bet it is a saw scale viper mimic. I'd like to hear from anyone keeping this species. Has anyone accomplished taming one to the point of being handleable?

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.
I had a pair.The female was gentle and both my boys loved to hold her.My male was stark raving mad.He never bluffed.My female died eggbound and I gave the male away.There suppose to be mildy venomous and they are rear fanged.With the exception of blood loss I never suffered any effects.

If lead paint is so deadly why do they make it so delicious?
