for those of you out there that keep these beautiful animals i have a few questions. one day i would like the oppertunity to have and breed eyelash vipers but want to know their cage requirements. what is a good size cage for an average breeding size female. what about the male what size cage works for them. do you use a water dish on the floor of the cage or do you put one up on one of the walls giving them a drinking point up in the air. how often do you feed adults every x number of days aor do you wait for them to deficate each meal before giving another. any info would be great. thanks for replys

I keep mine in 2x2x2 cages. I have never seen any drink from a bowl (i still keep it in there) But i spray them pretty well every morning. Adults feed every 2 weeks. Babies are a pain to feed. Pinky parts and if you move after they strike it they will usually spit it back out.
