Guess what kind of Reptile

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
well, here is another one since D David Tobler hasn't posted one. Only hints are "there are 2 acceptable answers" and it's one of my favorite reptiles, personally for overall appearance, striking coloration, IMO

Bothrops atrox, the Fer-De-Lance?

Gorgeous coloring and markings
ya, when I 1st saw it as a kid I wanted one, then I realized I needed a good 15-20 years more experience considering it's toxicity. I'm simply not comfortable w/ certain venomous species....a lot of Elapidae is a 1-and-done type of bite so I tried to stick to Crotalidae for my training. Still bad news, but not AS bad.
