Show notes

In this episode, Eckhard Vd Westhuizen gives some amazing info on how to feed tricky snakes, particularly arboreal vipers and the importance of feeding a proper diet and replicating the wild.

Something that came up was the importance of UVB in the hobby and how we believe UVB is beneficial to large-bodied vipers like Gaboons, listen to find out why.
