These lovely little Tonkins Pit Vipers hatched last week, after only 46 days incubation. All 13 eggs hatched :D

Funny to hear the words Vipers hatched. Lovely little snakes.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

They are stunning ! Congrats guys !

This is probably one of the first times these have been bred here in SA as we really don't see them to often ?

Regards

Gorgeous! I realize I am piggy backing on this thread very late. I have my eye on a 1.2 group of WC Adult specimens. They are established and healthy, and I trust the seller. There is little information on the care of these beautiful little vipers. Could you possibly post some care recommendations. Your formula seems to be a success. What substrate, temp., humidity, size enclosure, feeding did you follow to do as well as you did? For the most part, I want to determine if I have the ability to provide the proper conditions. Living in Houston, Texas, I suspect they could thrive, outside, in our climate. It is warm, humid with a short, mild, wet winter and a long, hot, humid summer. Much like VietNam.
I once suffered from mental illness. Today, I have learned to enjoy it.
