Thank you! I have never touched one of the vipers so I have no idea how it feels but I agree, it does look rough.

No. Not all venomous snakes are so calm. Arboreal vipers are generally more docile and happy to hang out on their branches. The arboreals born here (many generations captive born) are calmer than those in the wild.

In our part of Texas, diamond back rattlesnakes are fairly common. They will try to get away from you but will strike if cornered!

Thanks! (on Jim's behalf) The eyes amaze me and I would love to know why Mother Nature put those incredible green eyes on a snake this color.
