Topic: Bitis gabonica


  
 Title 92   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The genus Bitis is comprised of 16 currently recognized species of Viperinae snakes confined exclusively to the continent of Africa.
They are constrained from breeding many species of venomous reptiles due to lack of physical space for the offspring, limited keeper staff, and the fact that they cannot or will not sell or exchange any offspring with non AZA member collections.
And since the AZA zoos that choose to have the large Bitis on display pretty much have what their program and priorities will permit, there is little or no incentive for them to breed these snakes that have such a large amount of offspring.

 Taxonomy of Bitis gabonica - Experts Forum at VenomousReptiles.org
Hey guys, As I was reading Mark O'Shea's QandA (the 18 month backlog!), I realized that Bitis gabonica rhinoceros has been raised to species status.
I know that the nasal "horns" are much more evident in West African individuals, so was the West African gaboon formerly known as B.g.
If these were the only two subspecies of Bitis gabonica then that must mean that they still go by the same name, only that they are now at species status, the West African being B. rhinoceros and the East African B. gabonica, right?
