If keeping a rhino viper is illegal in your area why are you keeping one? Just curious. We do have one rhino viper on exhibit and that's not an easy thing because they do indeed stress very easily. We provide a lot of "denseness" in their cage such as old rotted logs to hide next to along with deep layers of dead leaves and live plants whose leaves overhang onto the floor of the cage. All of these allow the snake to feel it is completely hidden. Temps and humidity also play a very key role.

>>If I get one, will be a CBB baby. I dont want adults, its also impossible to bring big ones. They have to be as small as possible.
