The purpose of this webpage is to provide online information about the care and propagation of some of the species of Atheris, or bush vipers. It seems as if there is little information on the web concerning these snakes even though some of them are readily available for sale on the market. We hope to shed light on these species and offer information to anyone interested in or anyone keeping these snakes.

It is important to note that we do not encourage the keeping of venomous snakes. All venomous snakes are dangerous and should only be kept by experienced handlers.
