Sorry about the moron, Mr.Keebs has been blocked....it always amazes me how the people who whine and complain and make the most noise actually have no reptiles vids posted what so ever, makes ya wonder.

Hahahaha funny!!! I know it might hurt the gaboon viper and all but really, for a better vid the rat should be alive!!! :-) still cool though I LUV GABOON VIPERS WOO!!!

@GaboonViper02

I do not feed live due to the fact I have way to many snakes to keep that much live prey on hand, I detest the smell of rodents.

[JWKeebs]

@thesnakeguru Gaboon vipers prefer live prey items. If you don't like the "smell of rodents" you should consider a different pet.

@JWKeebs

Really!!?? Weird after keeping snakes for 20 some odd years I've never had an issue with feeding F/T.....maybe you should consider minding your own damn business.

[JWKeebs]

@thesnakeguru I'm just talking about what is best for the snake, and the snake's preference. Snakes prefer to be in their natural habitats, and it's your job as a guardian of snakes to make their time with you as close to natural as you can. Not talking about any 'issues' you might have had in your 20 years of experience. Guru my ass

@JWKeebs

There's no difference between feeding frozen thawed and live besides the fact frozen thawed doesn't bite back. Get your facts straight before you have an idiotic opinion.

@TheEsotericDesi

Yes it is, Everything here eats F/T......don't like it, then get lost.

Gorgeous! I personally will never have the guts to keep hots, but I love watching the videos all of you who do it right post. Gaboons are just gorgeous animals, and those FANGS sure put the fear of God in me. Watching her pump them into her rat over and over again... gave me chills!

[Reptilerock42]

@thesnakeguru haha Mr. keebs is the kinda person i just wanna punch really hard. haha love your snakes and your videos!

[ImSaracen]

@thesnakeguru a beautiful specimen, & perhaps superfluous to say, looks very well cared for. ;-) 

[jamesrking1]

Thanks for posting the feeding video. Frozen , thawed food is safer for all concerned. It is interesting to some how snakes kill their prey, but after that knowledge is gained F/T is a pretty good way to go.

@JWKeebs WTF? I'm not going to ask if youre serious or not because clearly you are, but for real.. are you retarded?

[pheasanthunter123]

look at those huge fangs!

[cc519]

@JWKeebs What the hell are you talking about, viperkeeper feeds all of his venomous snake F/T mice and rats all the time. There isn't anything wrong with feeding F/T mice or rats.
