Asian Green Pit Viper
The Asian Green Pit Viper is a venomous snake found primarily in Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant green color, which helps it blend into the foliage of its natural habitat. This species typically inhabits forests and can be found in trees or on the ground, where it hunts small mammals, birds, and amphibians.
These snakes are characterized by their triangular heads and slit-like pupils. They are primarily nocturnal, using their heat-sensing pits to detect warm-blooded prey in the dark. While their venom is potent, bites to humans are relatively rare, as they tend to avoid confrontation.
