Wow, these are really beautiful snakes!
In fact I never heard of it and had to ask Dr. Google Wink

Interesting snake, very special as it seems!

A very special species, I guess..stunning! I would love to read details about biology and husbandry. Ralf

Hi Ralf,
there was an article about this species, written by Nikolai Orlov and Sergei Ryabov, in the Sauria, issue 1, march 2002 (Zur Kenntnis von Fea´s Viper, Azemiops feae BOULENGER 1888).
Regards,
Rainer

did somebody have this article and can share that with us?
i would appreciate this.

cheers
Mario

Hi guys!

I have a pretty simmilar article of Nikolai Orlov and Sergei Ryabov, I don't know if it's exactly the same as you meant, Rainer, because other asian snakes are mentioned in this article as well. But if anyone is interessted in, just let me know I can send you this article if needed via e-mail, icq and so on.

Hi Manuel,
there are several articles by N. Orlov and S. Ryabov mentioning A. feae and other snake species especially from N-Vietnam as both scientists have done a lot of fieldwork there.
The article I mentioned above is exclusively about this species.
I would scan and insert it here but I think that would violate the copyright of the publisher.

But even with the informations in that article it would not be sure that one might keep these snakes alive for a long time. At least the specimens S. Ryabov kept, died after a while. And his animals were brought home by himself and did not have the stress, exposure to infections,... that they would have had if they had come via pet-trade.

Greetings,
Rainer

Ah okay, well unfortunately I just have the other one...

Yeah I heard about the high rate of dying, it's a great pity that these animals don't survive that long =(.

Let's hope that things will be changing.

Best regards,

Manuel

Awesome pics. they are one of a kind animals. Wished I picked one or two up when I had the chance. Sad

But with a new day comes a new opportunity!

Thanks

They sure are really stunning snakes.
Peter: How are they doing? Has everything went well with these beauties?

and any other information on this species

Hi Nicolas,
