Post Non-DWA vipers / 'fake' vipers

Title spells it out really, I'm just wondering if there are any snakes that would fit that caption?
I love vipers to me they are possibly the most beutiful groups of snakes; With so many different varieties of snake there must be some out there...

Ha, nice one.
If you want something close to DWA but not, try FWC(false water cobra) and Mangrove snakes. Hoggies are also sort of close to DWA, they have venom, but its not too dangerous, and their rearfanged, so they have to really chew on you to invenomate.

i was serious mate, i thought he was looking for 'viper-look-a-likes' snakes, and candoia aspera looks fairly vipery imo. i'd think that fwcs and mangroves look too colubridy, persinally.
