bookcollecter 04-22-06, 09:58 PM	im playing a ranger with a small or medium viper as an animal companion, preferably a marsh or swamp species. i have a hipporgriff mount that can only fly with 300lbs and im 200 myself so i need to keep a close eye on gear and weight. can any one fill me in on length and weight of, what would be considered, small or medium vipers?

My advice would be to find a snake page or three on the web and see what sort of data you can collect on how large/heavy snake X can get, and then use an average scaled down to the size of your snake. The more "viper-y" the snake, the better, as far as comparisons go... Think cobra, not anaconda or boa.
