Several congenital anomalies in morphology (kyphoscoliosis, tail-, eye-, tonguelessness, cyclopia, schistosomia etc.) as well as in colour (longitudinal striped pattern, albinism, etc.) in captive-bred true vipers (Viperidae), are described and compared with cases known from literature. Possible causes and prevention of the anomalies are discussed.
