Hello everyone! Hope you had a great weekend!
This week's Reptile of the Week is...
The Eyelash Bush Viper!!! (My favorite snake of all time)
The Eyelash Bush Viper is an endemic to Tanzania. It is an inhabitant of mid-elevation, humid mountain forest of the Ussambara and Udzungwa Mountains. They are predators of small rodents, lizards, and frogs. Most individuals are smaller than 2 feet in length as adults. Science does not know the function or purpose of the enlarged scales above the eyes, known as "superciliary scales".
Latin Name: Atheris Ceratophora
