Great animal! But I am glad that they don't live in the wild here! I'm afraid that my curousity would win from my fear.. ;-)

I like vipers too, but I would not want to keep them myself. I have caught common adders (vipera berus) though! Not nearly as venomous as this timber rattler, but stil venomous!

No, haven't seen it in the wild. I'm not sure, but i think i saw it on reptile convetions though! The only viper i've seen is Vipera berus
