From the far east...
Sakishima Habu (Protobothrops elegans) CB '09 female. The males currently in shed but is lemon yellow. These are endemic to the Ryukyu Islands off the coast of Japan. A beautiful, but rare species in the the US.
Okinawa Pit-Viper (Ovophis okinavensis) CB' 09 male. These are the nicest out of the Ovophis genus! Another rare and seldom seen species from the Ryukyu Islands off Japan.

Re: From the far east...
Thanks so much for sharing, I cannot say that I have ever seen or heard of them. It's such a treat for us non-hot keepers to see things like this.

Re: From the far east...
Some little beauties there. Did you produce them or are these your future producers?

Re: From the far east...
Ah nice, Habu! I never thought I'd hear mention of them around here. In fact I think yours is the first I've seen in a US collection. I lived in Okinawa for a few years, and remember the Habu well. I never spotted any O. okinavensis though.
