Unbelievable!!! Some clarity: Firstly the snakes in question (B. nasicornis, B. rhinocerus and the false water cobra). I was asked to care for the two bitis sp by the accused (because he did not know how to) which i did successfully for well over a year - unfortunately yes both died in my care at di...

hi all, ill post the list of recovered animals and items soon. The star newspaper has covered the story extensively over the last few days (page 3, page 1). the names of the suspects are supposed to be published today in the star. Also the edenvale/ bedfordview paper, and radio 702. yes, one of the ...

Thanks guys, he really is a beauty! @gaboon69 - he gets fed 1 pink every 14 days or so, along with my other atheris and cerastes vipera. and every now and then they go 3 weeks between meals - just to make sure that the fat levels don't build up too much in the system. @amphibian - this is my first c...

I recently acquired this atheris ceratophora male. One of my favourite atheris species. He is doing great, eaten 2 pinks so far without too much effort.
