Eyelash Viper

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-pit vipers (genus Bothriechis) and is often present in zoological exhibits. The specific name schlegelii honors Hermann Schlegel, who was a German ornithologist and herpetologist.

The Eyelash Viper is a relatively small species of pit viper, with adults ranging from 22–32 inches long, and females being longer and more variable in size than males, which can grow to 27 inches 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.
