Their temper should have nothing to do with it, and from what I understand most bitis don't move around too much, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.
Nice snakes OP, jealous of the gaboon forsure, do you keep rhinos?
Cobra is so fast reptile park had there cobra out last Friday, I though any snake was fast but cobra was like fast x10. You'd have to be so careful and fast do you keep them in a special room clear of obstacles ? Can imagine it chasing you around the room

Why would any ven keeper be asking to get bitten??
Most are 100 times more careful than python keepers or there would be bodies everywhere
Good ven keepers never get complacent and simply cannot afford to get tagged so they dont get tagged
That is far removed from python keepers who are always bragging about how often or badly they were bitten
[I keep pythons etc, but have the greatest respect for ven keepers as they are usually in a class of their own]
Cobras seldom bite in captivity and only strike in one direction
Gaboons are explosive but usually telegraph a hit
trickiest one there might be the white lip as they defend themselves very strongly
Thank you to everyone for your kind words 
White lip pit viper - Trimeresurus albolabris
Out of all my snakes, the Gaboons are the easiest to deal with. No temper what so ever, i've had mine for 7 months now, and between the two of them, they have only struck twice at me - both times from the female on the same day. The most 'difficult' snake to handle are my white lips, they're cranky at the best of times.
Definitely, my white lips are the worst by a long mile.
Disagree on the Gaboons telegraphing a hit though, they don't give any sign what so ever when they're about to strike. I'm still amazed at feeding time, when they explode out of no where, especially when i wasn't expecting it
It is a shame i guess for you guys in AUS. But don't some Zoo's keep exotic venomous?

To be honest, if i have her out she will stand her ground if i provoke her. But 99% of the time she will just try and find somewhere to hide. They're quick i guess, but i don't think they're anywhere near as quick as some of the aussie elapids.
Tell me about it! She's a little Indochinese spitting cobra (Naja siamensis) in case anyone was wondering.

Hells bells those are some gorgeous snakes you have there mate. I have always wanted to see a White Lipped in real life.
My uncle has Gaboon Vipers back in South Africa and describes them pretty much as you do. Laid back until they explode into action during feeding time
