Purely beautiful.

Those gaboon vipers have the longest fangs. I saw a doco on a man milking one for its venom and it bit down though it's bottom jaw and got him he was holding it at the base of the head so the fangs curved back and cracked him a good one thankfully he was ok though.

 

[TaraLeigh]

Awesome. Look forward to looking at them too. Have seen some pretty ones in the past on here..... I'd say you'll more than likely get others posting pics on this thread too!

Mangshan Mountain Viper - Trimeresurus mangshanensis. This was posted in one of the "Dream Reptile" Threads. One of my favs

@Mace699 - Wow thanks I didn't know that.

@ TaraLeigh - Yeah I was hoping to start a posting frenzy just so I can find more cool vipers.

I really want to find more info and pics about the Iranian Viper Pseudocerastes urarachnoides.

I'm in love with the Spiny one.... I think that's similar to the one I fell in love with on another thread.... bit different.... green.... awesome head.... might have even been the dream thread aye.
Ooo I like the White Lipped Tree Viper! But I'll just stick to wanting the first 3 words ending in frog instead though.
ROFL $NaKe PiMp.... Sheesh.

Some of my favourites, I lived in Malaysia when I was quite a bit younger and my interest in reptiles developed massively. Held back by my parents understandable desire to keep their pre-teen son away from a multitude of potentially venomous snakes, I never got much further than books. We then moved to Australia, much safer!

Here's a couple I stumble across in the back of my head occasionally from those days, some of my favourite looking snakes.

Pope's Pit Viper (Trimeresurus popeia popeiorum) - The red markings/eyes seems to vary according to google pics.

Snorkel Viper (Deinagkistrodon acutus)

Tokara Habu (Trimeresurus tokarensis)

Sumatran Pitviper (Trimesurus sumatranus) - I'm convinced I've seen one of these in the wild on holiday, I absolutely love the head on these)

Wagler's Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus waglen)

Gumprecht's Green Pit Viper (Trimesurus gumprechti) - Just look at those beautiful leaf shaped scales...

 

[SnakeNBake]

Wow! Thanks for sharing these. Each of them is so unique!

The Sumatran is stunning
