I've kept eyelashes and they seem fairly mellow. When they are babies they eat pink parts which can be a pain but all in all they are good snakes. They stay under 2 feet, aren't real aggressive, and have a low toxicity. Mine sometimes is a pain on a hook, but I've heard most ride a hook well.

I totally agree the eyelash is pretty easy to keep and if you can get one established on pinks they are easy to work with. I have four yellow one and they are my favorite vipers. They are not agressive and typically only strike at food. They can be hard to get on the hook as they like to hang on to everything trying to get them out of their cage but once out ride the hook just fine. I think they are a great starter HOT.
