Asian Pit Vipers

[Ngala]

Dear @Spalea, I'm glad that someone appreciates these reptiles. The vipers of the these genus from Asia are incredible. For example, a species from Komodo island, Trimeresurus albolabris insularis, can having a beautiful light blue colour; another species from China, Trimeresurus mangshanensis, have an amazing mimetic pattern, which seems almost fake. 

In Africa, the species of the Atheris genus have also a beautiful colours similar to these Asiatic species.

In Europe, the vipers of the genus Vipera have darker and dull colours, ranging from various shades of gray to brown or reddish, but we have a great number of beautiful chromatic variations (Melanic form, etc.). Reply
