Geeze Brett...

I'm not even sure there are any of these in the USA. I have notes on these but I don't have access to them at the moment. Why the query?

Susan Hunter, who resides in Canada, used to keep this snappy little viper. Not recommended for newbies!

Unfortunetly not! Unless they have started up again(?), both Susan and her husband " Alan Hunter" are no longer keeping venomous snakes. I was quite sad to hear that this had transpired!

I have some CB'05 babies of this species. Very interesting animals to keep. I've recently purchased them.
They are seldom seen in European collections too.

Here some pics:
