Side-striped Palm Viper | Bothriechis lateralis | 2023 - 1

Side-striped Palm Viper

Bothriechis lateralis is a venomous pit viper species found in the mountains of Costa Rica and western Panama. Common names: Side-striped Palm Pit Viper and Side-striped Palm Viper. Adult specimens may exceed 39 inches but are usually less than 31 inches in length. These are relatively slender snakes and have a prehensile tail.

The color pattern consists of an emerald green to bluish green ground color, overlaid with a series of yellow alternating paravertebral vertical bars. Some of the scales adjacent to the yellow in this pattern may be blue or black-tipped. The belly is a uniform yellowing-green, bordered on either side by a pale-yellow stripe running along the lower portion of the paraventral scales and the extreme lateral part of the ventral scales. The head is uniformly green on top and a blue or blue gray postocular stripe may be present. If a postocular stripe is present, it is weakly defined, especially in large adults. The iris is yellow.
