You will have your hands full fo sho if you have a Gaboon Viper to feed!

I was a bit worried it may have been a picture of a one eyed trouser snake.

No Clubberr; no vipers inmy collection. A very, very popular snake to keep; but the vipers just don't do anything for me. They actually make me nervous and I like a more active snake.

Gaboons have the largest fangs of any in the world, and getting hit by one is like getting slammed with a nail gun. Hemotoxic and neurotxic venom; and from what I hear from some people who got tagged by one, about the most painful bite you could take. 2 inch long fangs, and the venom gets so deep in tissue, even with quick antivenin you'll have some damage. No antivenin and you will die, and if you don't some sh#t will be rotting and falling off. Beautiful animals, but not my cup of tea. You can buy them for about $60 as they are flooding the market, but not for the novice.

I like their heads, remind me of the monster in Predator. I suppose I could have just said "no" to your question, but I prefer to act like a know it all

Hey Clubber, go to youtube and put in "The Gabby Show" or " Dining with Gabby". I can't imbed the vieos because Al doesn't allow it. This guy has one of the best collections in the states, and makes my collection look silly. You can watch him feeding his Gaboon's. And if you want to see what kind of sound a pissed off Gaboon viper makes, put "Beast from the East" in and watch.

Also, if you want to see something funny, put in "King Size Surprise". It's 10 minutes, but try to get through to about the 8 1/2 minute point and watch from there. It's scary but funny as sh#t.

Hey, don't worry about sounding like a know-it-all.

They said getting bit by a Gaboon was like sticking your hand (or whereever you got bitten) in a fire and not being able to pull it out.
