i live on the osa peninsula in sw costa rica and recently (20/oct) caught a female b. asper. she was located right next to a male. is there a way to determine if she is gravid with young? i did not keep the male but found it fascinating when he ejected a stream of venom easily 3 feet!

still curious if anyone can tell me how to visually see if a b. asper is gravid. in addition, the locals tell me i'm nuts to keep a b. asper in captivity as they can "call" or signal to other snakes. this begs the question, how DO snakes attract each other? my guess is scent on the ground. my enclosure is elevated and we are also in the middle of our rainy season so i feel okay. i would appreciate any input regarding these queries.

hey, i'm no snake expert. really comfortable with them and i respect their successful evolution w/o arms or legs. one week after finding a male and female terciopelo w/i 1 meter of each other and bringing the female back to our cage (relocated the male over 40 meters away)... the male was found in nearly the exact location while on our tour today. we transferred him to her and am watching courtship take place. slow. sexy... kinda expect to hear marvin gaye.
