Hi.

I am looking for a female Atheris desaixi. Males welcome too.
Excellent trades or cash.
Can import with 100% legal paperwork.

Thanks
Marthinus

I know I've seen at least one adult male available. Let me check around to see if I can find you a link.

Sincere thanks Alex.
I was fortunate enough to get that male in your link.
I would love to start a breeding group to make this species available.

Regards

Wouldn't we all? My best advise to you is to use Google and search "Atheris desaixi price list" every couple of weeks, it's practically the only way you'll find any listings. By the way, if you're a fan of Atheris in general, there's a kingsnake classifieds listing for captive bred (yes, you read that right) Atheris hispida. I e-mailed the guy seeking clarification because he said they were Hairy Bush Vipers (which I assumed to mean A. hirsuta), but in his reply he corrected me and provided pictures of the actual births happening. Freaking awesome sight, man.

thanks for that Alex. I will believe that guy when he provides us with photos of copulation, haha. I would really appreciate it if we could see those pics :T

Sure. Let me upload them to my photobucket.

Now thats not something one sees everyday Alex. Wow. Thanks. I wonder whether the babies are feeding?

I didn't see those pics at kingsnake, but I saw an ad where - I assume - the same dealer Alex is talking about offered imported A. hispida. In that ad he also stated that he's expecting captive BORN babies. A whole different deal than captive bred...

My money's on imported, gravid female dropping babies.

Alex, why did you post photos of my snakes without asking.

Dan

*shrugs* My bad, man, I didn't realize you'd be offended if I did so. I will point out that I never claimed the pictures or snakes as mine.

Alex:

I was not offended nor indicated I was offended. Nor indicated you claimed the pictures as yours. I asked why you posted photographs that did not belong to you. It would be appreciated if you pursue the matter with the moderator to have them removed from your post though.

Dan

Howzit Dan. You have a point. We should have gotten your permission so sincere apologies man. We were just having a good time. Congrats on the baby hispida. Are the feeding? Regards, Marthinus
