Templer Pit Viper

Common name : Wagler Pit Viper
Scientific name : Tropidolaemus wagleri

My first venomous species in captivity. Check out this simple aqua terrarium, high humidity is needed by this vipers, helps defecation, digesting, shedding.

Will transfer to a bigger tank once it grow bigger, maximum length approximately around 1meter. For now is just fine as this snake stay still for days without moving, just roosting, sometimes just a slight move around.

Just had her first meal and shit last night, it took nearly 3 weeks to pull it off. *Humidity is very important*

More update about her soon when everything settle down, will study her and more photos be coming up.

Easily recognized by its triangle head, very different species compare to my other snakes. Different behavior, different habitat . . cool bugger =)
