I though everybody loved Lachesis ! I see the adults advertised are a different color , is this normal ? Very Nice !

I thought it was a Criminal act to not love Lachesis sp?

They're one of my favourite pit-vipers, I paticularly like L. muta.

Someone arrest Dave Pauwels ! for he has sinned

Incredible animal Andrew. Your a lucky man.

That is not mine , it is belonging to Andreas Hohmeister who is breeding them

how much are they?they are not cheap right?

Really nice. I'm mad jealous.

I love Bushmasters, it´s my favourite genus and my favourite species is L.melanocephala, just gorgeous:) hopefully one time...
Sascha- stenophrys cost about 1 200Euro +-

@Jaroslav Karhánek,thanks for the information.

They are nice but this is the bigest viper on Earth and possibly the heaviest! Bushmaster has allmost 80% death rate if i know correct. Antivenom is rearly effective and with sideeffects. This is one snake that diserves respect. I saw that they are available here in Eu. I more like Death Adders, but good luck if you planing to get one.

Bostjian,

80% death rate is from old data. The survival rate with treatment using Costa Rican Polyvalent antivenom produced by Instituto Clodomiro Picado is very high, even for bites from Lachesis muta (Dean Ripa, pers. comm on bite by one of my loaned animals). Necrosis from bushmasters is not the same as other species (e.g. Bothrops asper) and ICP Polyvalent is extremely effect at counteracting the venom effects IF administered rather quickly (less than 15 minutes).

If you were bitten in the rainforest and far from medical attention, then that is a different situation.

Regards,
