About Bothriechis Schlegelii Snake:
Bothriechis schlegelii, known commonly as the eyelash viper, is a species of venomous pit viper in the family Viperidae.
The species is native to Central and South America.
Small and arboreal, this species is characterized by a wide array of color variations, as well as the superciliary scales above the eyes.
It is the most common of the green palm-pitvipers (genus Bothriechis), and is often present in zoological exhibits.
The specific name schlegelii honors Hermann Schlegel, who was a German ornithologist and herpetologist.
Description:
The eyelash viper is a relatively small species of pitviper, with adults ranging from 55–82 cm (22–32 in) long, and females being longer and more variable in size than males, which can grow to 69 cm (27 in) long.
It has a wide, triangular-shaped head, and eyes with vertical pupils.
Like all pit vipers, it is solenoglyphous, having large, hypodermic needle-like fangs in the front of the upper jaw that fold back when not in use, and has heat sensitive organs, or pits, located on either side of the head between the eye and nostril.
Geographic range:
The geographic range of B. schlegelii extends from southern Mexico (northern Chiapas), southeastward on the Atlantic plains and lowlands through Central America to northern South America in Colombia and Venezuela.
It is also found on the Pacific versant and lowlands in parts of Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
It occurs in mesic forest at elevations almost from sea level to 2,640 m (8,660 ft) altitude.
The type locality is “Popayan” (Popayán, Colombia).
Behavior:
Like other Bothriechis members, B. schlegelii is arboreal and has a strong prehensile tail.
It is largely nocturnal, consuming small rodents, frogs, lizards and small birds.
It is not known to be an aggressive snake, but will not hesitate to strike if harassed.
Reproduction:
The eyelash viper reaches sexual maturity at around two years of age, and the ovoviviparous species reproduces throughout the year in warm environments.
Females carry eggs for around six months before they hatch internally, where the young complete their development.
Pregnant females have enlarged lower abdomens, and may stop eating in later stages of pregnancy.
In a typical brood they give birth to 2–20 live young, which are 15–20 cm (5.9–7.9 in) in length and appear physically similar to adults.
