Nice, I love venustus. Are you feeding if pinks or lizards?

Mine is feeding on fuzzies, CB'09, and she's doing great, real easy feeder, never skips a feeding.

How do you obtain venomous snakes, that looks beautiful! Can you handle it or is it aggressive?

You can get venomous snakes online as for handling you NEVER free handle a venomous snake no matter how tame it appears or behaves, unless you want to make the news and piss off the local ER folks and make the exotic animal hobby look bad as a whole.

In the Netherlands it's legal to keep venomous snakes and it's not difficult to obtain them. As far as handling goes, with hooks it's pretty easy with this species. But with all venomous snakes, always expect the unexpected, so they won't surprise you.

Iv been lookin at one of these. From the bite reports I'v read there just extremely painful but still need to go to the hospital tho.

The venom itself is quite potent, but the yield is small, that's the reason why it is classified as quite harmless (as far as venomous snakes are harmless).

Just don't get bit.

They have since reclassified these as Cryptelytrops venustus instead of Trimeresurus.

Wonderful snakes, I have 8 ;P
