About the Waglers Pit Viper
One of the most photogenic snakes with bright green coloring and triangular head. Often found coiled on branches in classic ambush pose. Their prehensile tail grips branches securely. Babies are brown or purple, turning green as they mature. Females are significantly larger than males. They have a row of modified scales along their body that look like eyelashes.
