About Austrelaps Labialis Snake:
Agkistrodon bilineatus is a highly venomous pit viper species found in Mexico and Central America as far south as Honduras.
Description:
Coloration can vary, but most are brown or black, with darker brown or black banding, sometimes with white or cream-colored accents.
A. taylori is known for being more elaborately patterned, often having distinct tan-colored banding, sometimes with orange or yellow accents that can almost appear gold in color.
There are the following distinctive yellow and/or white lines on the head: a vertical line on the rostral and mental, a fine line on the canthus continuing above and beyond the eye to the neck, a broader line on the upper lip from the anterior nasal to the last labial.
Juveniles are almost always distinctly banded, with bright green or yellow tail tips, which they use to lure prey.
As they age, their pattern and coloration fade and darken.
Geographic range:
Mexico and Central America. On the Pacific side it is found from southern Sonora in Mexico south through Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. The type locality given is “Pacific coast of Guatemala.”
Conservation status:
This species is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2001).
A species is listed as such when it has been evaluated against the criteria but does not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable now, but is close to qualifying for, or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.

Reproduction:
Breeding occurs in the spring, and like most other viper species, cantils are ovoviviparous, giving birth to 5–20 young at a time.
