There are none is the USA that I know of.. Not even in Zoo's. They are quite toxic but not #2 in the world. I don't even think in South America.

It's not really a "danger" thing. It's more of a "not a lot of them make it to the country" thing. There are a wide variety of the lanceheads in the zoos, and other collections (B. asper, B. atrox, B. moojeni etc)

Didn't see the show but I'll bet they ment to say B.jararacussu witch is a far more toxic than B. jararca.

I was only able to find them on display in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
There is a HUGE difference between being the #2 deadliest snake in Brazil and being the #2 deadliest snake (either PERIOD or IN THE WORLD).

I know of at least one jararacussu in a collection here in the states, its a male about 4-5 ft long and maybe 3-4 years old.
The owner has been looking for a female to pair it up for the past few years. Quite a hyper snake.

Toxic too. I know they do tons of venom work on both ssp and if there like most bothrops that makes it a terrifying combination. As far as deadliest goes, Im with the "its the one that just bit ya crowd" so keep fingers outta there mouths. Nice looking animals, shame there are not more in the states.

Jonathan, Bushmasters can now be found in a number of zoos around the country.
Once very rare, and very difficult to keep alive in captivity, due to being wild caught.
However, that has now changed, due to the success in producing captive born young by places like the Cape Fear Serpentarium, some of the Texas Zoos, and about 5 or 10 private keepers working with them here in the states.
Best Regards
