S.E Asian Arboreal Vipers

[Azemiops]

Heres a few pictures of some arboreal vipers we have come across in various parts of S.E Asia.

First up, Big-eyed Viper, Cryptelytrops macrops. Thailand 2004



Another smaller animal from the same species, Thailand 2007



Next, a difficult species to find in the wild, the Sumatran pitviper, Parias sumatranus, housed in a butterfly park in the Cameron Highlands. This species is one of the largest aroboreal vipers, and they have absolutely monsterous fangs on them. Malaysia 2007



Highlands Pitviper, Popeia fucatus, caught late evening after trekking along a stream for hours in the Cameron highlands. Malaysia 2007



Leaf-nosed viper, Trimeresurus wiroti, housed at an export facility. Malaysia 2007



Finally, a Cryptelyrops insularis we came across in a resturant in Indonesia (sadly he was on the menu). The owners kept telling us they had an 'Asian green mamba', and then showed us this little guy. Bali 2007
