Here are a few photographs of my Pakistan Russells viper. I picked him up at Houten snake day last year, and since then he has grown into a fantastic snake. He is by far one of the fastest growing snakes i have kept.

When i first aquired him:



And how he is today:





I would very much like to pick him up a girlfriend at this years snake day, fingers there will be some available.

Cheers, Tom

Russels Vipers are among the "Big Four" snakes (Naja naja, Echis, Bungarus, Daboia) of fatalities the old world.
I think this implies that there is some inclination to bite ...

Of course I know about it, I keep or I have kept two of them(big four), but aggressiveness is almost only personality trait. I meant exactly that concrete specimen. That's my point.

Hello Piotr,

He is actually a very relaxed snake and rarely shows any signs of aggression. However, he will sometimes get to the point where he has had enough (especially during a photography session), and will start to hiss loudly and strike out.

cheers, Tom

I keep Vipera palestinae, now this is different kind, but it used to be the same, I think they behave very similarly. My viper strikes always when I get too close, but I do this only through the glass.

I hope to find some Pakistan and Indian Russelli so I can import them, not many around in the US. Beautiful animals!
