Halloween Trick or Treat?

Oh Chinese Copperheads. Lovely snakes. Rot the flesh off the bone.

I agree, elapids are just too quick and aggressive for the most part. Vipers love to surprise you though.

Oh Chinese Copperheads.

You mean Calloselasma? we call them Malayan Pit Vipers over here. Just regional nomenclature variations I guess. I have kept (and bred) them before. They are dangerous but very easy to deal with. Interestingly, an egg layer, even though they are classified as part of the Agkistrodon complex.
