Hi John, I guess things like behavior, what to expect, if I can handle them a little. Caresheets cover the basics, temp,feeding,housing,etc., but don't usually give much hands on stuff.;) It's easy to learn about a gecko like a leo, since there are tons of forums and threads about their antics and such...but I have yet to see much about the vipers.

House them same as a leopard gecko.. warm side and cool side. On fine sand or paper towels as substrate. They are full grown at about 3 inches, and eggs are about the size of a big green pea. Vipers have a lot of personality and can tollerate handling. They are pretty hardy as adults but i've lost a few hatchlings to unknown causes.

Vipers are cute, and they (ours) are easy to handle. They don't do much unfortunatly :( . As far as coming out, etc... they really don't come out that much. We have a male and a female... as I said, they're cute but they don't do much. Good Luck with your Vipers, and let me know if you need any more! ;)

Hey..GKO, I just noticed you are from Orlando. Wish I had known before having them shipped from up north..;) These will be all related...I believe. Do people ever swap so they can have ones from different parents?
