This small venomous snake doesn’t usually measure more than 90 cm, but don’t let its size fool you! Its venom is as potent as that of rattlesnakes, and a bite can cause internal bleeding and tissue damage.

You can find it hidden among low vegetation, in scrublands, mangroves, or even among rocks.

It has a prehensile tail that helps it cling to branches, where it camouflages itself and patiently waits for its next prey to pass by.

s menu includes mice, birds, and, occasionally, a frog. It’s a true ambusher of nature—a silent and cunning hunter!
