The viperbabys that I am waiting for..

But I really think that they are coming soon because the notorious feeder a.k.a the yellowish V. a. ammodytes refused food at yesterdays feeding. A good sign..
She still looks like she ate recently, and she looks like she haven´t taken a dump since May..
I am going to enjoy to see what the small ones will look like, as the mom is yellowish / orangeish in colours and the male is the "Zokadelic"-male. I really, really hope that there is at least one female that looks "Zokadelic" too, so I can keep it for future breedings. Will probably keep a male or two too, if they are "Zokadelic"´s.

The gravid V. r. renardi female is hissing loudly and striking at me everytime I show my face now, but she did take a little mouse yesterday to my surprise.. She´s also very large now..
I have to keep at least 2.2 from these too, as the parents are very old, at least 10 years old, possible allmost 15.
She has also gone into shed now, so it shouldn´t take long before the babies are coming..
As far as I know, nobody have had young ones from this species in Sweden before. Can I be the first??
Good that I have lots of small crickets at home now, to feed the small ones with.

I have been trying to take decent pictures of the both gravid females, but it´s really hard, as they don´t show themselves as much as they usually do. Will continue trying though..

This week, or next, they will all arrive I think... Looking in the terrariums every day, up to three times now..

Here´s a link to the thread in my forum, if you like to stay updated, as I am posting there before I do it here.. ( I hope that you don´t mind this crossposting of the link. ) http://www.terrariummorbidum.se/foru....php?f=4&t=904

Here is a picture of the mother to be:

V. r. renardi, Renard´s viper. Location: Probably Ukraine.

The proud dad..

These vipers are quite small, and their babys are only about 10 - 12 cm´s in length and 3 - 4 mm´s thick when born.

V. a. ammodytes, Long-nosed viper, female. Location: Kôrita, Bosnia.

..and her "husband".

"Zokadelic"-morph..
