Stunning Exclamation I think about the only viper I like more than the gaboon is the rhinocerous, but I'm never going to keep either here in Aus. Sad

One of my favorites,are yours calm Question


Only got the one Gaboon mate and yes she is is calm. Confused

I use long snake hooks to work with her and I never allow myself to become complacent. Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

Fastest strike in the world and acrobatic as well. They can easily strike back over their own body to nail you from behind! Crying or Very sad

The other night I had my face right up against the glass in the posisition you see her above.
She gave a little hiss and then struck at me so fast I didn't even have time to react. Thank god for glass!!

Gaboons can be agressive in the evenings so I only work with her during the day Smile Smile

Even then, I'm always on my guard.


I have seen some really remarkable strikes from this species. They are truly one of the most insidious/wily species ever.. Looking totally calm, almost asleep one second. And the next.. Whammm..!!

They also have a abillity to calculate distance in the most nasty way..
