Anyone else have these?
Not really same level as say a rattler or a viper, no where near in fact - but i am unsure as to just how toxic the venom is.
I'd like to hear from any keepers or just anyone with an idea about the venom _________________ TFA

Try emailing Wolfgang Wuster at w.wuster@bangor.ac.uk with regards to venom toxicity. As to captive husbandry only a handful of people stateside keep them, have not seen or heard of anyone with them in the UK. Main diet of frogs and small lizards is more easily supplemented in the states as well which is why some of the keepers have had success but I'm unsure of any breeding status.
If you've got some/know of some available I'd be extremely interested... _________________ Regards James Stroud |

I'm unsure as to what you're saying here, i know the basic diet of frogs and lizards but the supplemented bit has me. Do you mean they supplement with something else? If so do you know what?

I may, possibly know of a stray female that may or may not become available shortly. They are doing quite well so she wont be cheap, email me if you're interested. _________________ TFA

I mean the diet in the states is easily supplemented/stapled with frogs and lizards like anoles as they're more easily available over there. Also the views on feeding live prey is quite different to over here. PM me with regards to the female. _________________ Regards James Stroud |
