You must be the only one in the UK with these Paul. I didn't think anyone would have had them here. They're not particularly popular in the hobby and quite rarely seen for sale. There was a table in the Houten show with a couple on last year.

Hi Paul,

nice cornutus you have. I give away nearly all my pivipers and went back to middle east and european vipers. But a very good friend of mine has breed them two years ago and give me all the offsprings. This was 5,1 . When I start to sell and swap my pitvipers I give him back this ones for his collection.
I will aske him, if there are sine males for left now.
I send you a PM with the result.

Peter, may i ask what changed so you gave all the pitvipers away and switched to old world vipers?

@Niko: I Start in the very past with european vipers, my First venomous was a Vipera aspis, I'll kept this snakes more than 25 years.
Between the european I has had several others too, Najas, Bitis, Bungarus etc. but the,, vipers'' was. My,, First love''.
Than I want to Start something new:,, nice Terrarians with a lot of living Plants and so on. But I understimate the time to take care of such a projekt. sometimes I have feel more like a gardener :-S
An other fact was, that a lot If the ofsorings from smal asian pitvipers are very gard to bring tovfeed on mices. i was planing to breed frogs, but I Do Not finnis this Projekt too. also depending on ned of time.
It isn' t a Problem to feed 10 Offsprings with parts of mices. But When you have more than 50 at the Same time....very. Unfruitful
I make It short - this are Not my Group of snakes that I will work a lot with. I still have some. but bot a lot.
Now I have much more time for my snakes, and feel better with them. Time management is much easyer!
And last but not least - I have some of my absolute favorites - Vipera ammodytes & Macrovipera lebetina .

Peter, Thank you for explanning. I see
the first love was the strongest love Smile

i am keeping actually pit vipers too in terrarium s with living endemic plants . I am feeling more like a gardener, like you said. But i think it s a eye-orgasm when you look into a real natural terrarium with the snake like a Accessoire Smile

Yes Niko, thats right and work with a mediterranean terrsrium too ;-)

Chaps,

Thanks for the kind comments...

Peter, thanks for the info, I look forward to your PM.

I have a great passion for Euro vipers, I have seen most species in the wild. I currently keep Vipera renardi( I should have neonates later in the year, if you are interested....)

Kind regards

Paul

Hi Paul.

If you're after more males, some british keepers visit Hamm and SnakeDay regularly, so I'm sure you could sort out for someone to pick some up for you if you don't want to make the trip yourself.

Drop me a pm if you want some names.

Cheers,

Martti
