I think I would definitely keep and breed Bitis peringueyi if money was no object...something about that species that just makes them so much more appealing than the other Bitis to me...
That being said, I still have hopes of maintaining a rather large Bitis collection one day, compromising many of the representatives from that genus.

Parviocula is not really a dwarf species, just a rare one. Xeropaga is a dwarf and very cool too...

Yes, That's B. Xeropaga, a very colorful one. Mostly their more subdued. Max size ~20 inches I would say....

Very nice! I had never seen one before, or at least I dont recall ever seeing one. Quite a stocky devil.
