A younger Franklin, the West African Gaboon Viper, wiggling her tail like a worm! I captured it on 2 separate occasions and haven’t seen it since. Similar to caudal luring. But I was told by someone it was a breeding response. She’s twerking I guess #gaboonviper #gaboon #viper #bitis #bitisrhinoceros #venomoussnakes #snakes #venomous | Mark’s Reptiles

Here is Sniper one of my many West African Gaboon Vipers (Bitis rhinoceros), busy caudal luring. Oh and he was fed just a few days ago. This is a natural behaviour although not very common for this species, whereby this snake is using its tail to mimic a worm to bring prey within strike range. So an inquisitive bird or rodent maybe even a lizard with fall prey to this clever tactic. #gaboonviper #westafricangaboonviper #venomous #bitis #viper #caudalluring #venomoussnakesofinstagram #venomoussna

Meet Gangster the West African Gaboon Viper (Bitis rhinoceros). They emit this loud hissing noise as a warning to say don't step on me or leave me alone. If snakes wanted to bite, why would they perform in this manner. They have no ear openings yet make a noise to alert other animals to their presence when they feel threatened. The first line of defense is their amazing camouflage, blending into their surroundings. #gaboonviper #venomous #bitisrhinoceros #westafricangaboonviper #bitis #venomouss

West African Gaboon Viper (Bitis rhinoceros) having a drink after I gently guided her to water, with a hookstick of ourse. I have a 4 tier massive unit housing these Gaboons and they can maneuver between levels. Now for some reason they dont want to stick to thier levels and I often find the girls basking together. I can close off then portals to each level but it is for my male to visit the ladies. Just very interesting to see how they choose to be around others when they have their own space.
