Description: In this one, I teamed up with one of my buddies to bring you a build for some venomous reptiles, specifically the Variable Bush Viper (Atheris squamigera). Like most of you, I don't ever intend on keeping these animals myself, but I like to showcase other aspects of the hobby. So, when the opportunity arose, I knew I had to make it happen! The Variable Bush Viper is a great candidate for a bioactive vivarium because of its placid demeanor and relatively small size. They'll spend most of their time in the canopy, but aren't shy about exploring the forest floor. Like many other medium-sized animals, spot cleaning is necessary for optimal results. Let me know what you think about the completed build down in the comments!
