Bothrops barnetti. The Desert
lancehead. Sancarranca. Macanch. A
large, heavy-bodied lancehead from
Peru. Seldom seen outside its
natural habitat – a narrow band of
arid desert scrub that lies between
the Peruvian Andes and the Pacific
Ocean. Rarer in captivity than the
Mangshan viper. A snake with a
reputation for ferocity, a snake
much feared by Peruvians – and
rightly so. Big, quick, and alert,
Bothrops barnetti is a truly
dangerous snake. Bothrops barnetti
reaches an imposing five feet in
length. B. barnetti’s bold pattern
and gleaming yellow-gold eyes set
it apart from all other lanceheads.
I’m offering 2.2 (CBB 2007)
unrelated specimens of the
magnificent Bothrops barnetti –
stout, vigorous, well-started young
specimens feeding voraciously on
frozen/thawed rodents – for
$4000.00/pair. Select trades
considered. I extend this offer
only to top-tier keepers with the
skills required to raise these rare
snakes to maturity and to breed
them.
