El crótalo azul es una pequeña serpiente venenosa que no supera los 80 cm. Pertenece a la familia Viperidae y reside en Indonesia. Tiene distintos morfos, que coinciden con distintas áreas geográficas. Se desconocen los motivos de estas variaciones. El morfo verde es el más común; el azul se da exclusivamente en la isla de Komodo.
Es una víbora arbórea endémica del sudeste asiático. De pequeño tamaño y de gran belleza, se mimetiza entre la vegetación y permanece inmóvil a la espera de algún infortunado vertebrado de pequeño tamaño. A diferencia de otras serpientes arbóreas venenosas, una vez lanzado su ataque sujeta a la presa hasta que esta muere.

Location: Selangor, Malaysia. Found during a night walk with my student at mangrove forest. One of the five mangrove pit vipers of the night! Be careful where you lay your hands, this fella was very near to the broadwalk.
Also known as Shore Pit Viper or purple-spotted pit viper,
Toxicity: Highly Venomous
Temperament: Quite defensive (make sure you give it some space).
Distribution: Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia (Sumatra and Java).
The coloration of this species varies quite a bit. It can be olive, grayish, light brown, dark purple, dark brown, black, orange, and yellow with blotches (see pic).
I was walking through Khao Sok National Park when my companion pointed towards the top of a tree, telling me there was a snake coiled within the foliage. The sun was shining through the tree and I simply could not see this green pit viper (trimeresurus viperidae) until I looked through a zoom lens. These snakes are venomous but it was early morning and the reptile was obviously resting/asleep.

Specific epithet:
Named after the Latin adjective fucatus, that could be translated by “with make-up”. It was used in classical Latin language to describe the red and white hues harboured on their cheeks by actors of the ancient Latin theater, and was chosen here in allusion to the bicolor white and red postocular streak present in some males of this species.

My previous encounters with snakes have always taken place during visits to the zoo. And there these fascinating animals were hidden behind glass and I was completely safe.
It feels a lot different when you approach such a not entirely harmless creature in the wild at less than a meter away and always expect the lady to move in your direction. I already had a good pulse during this shooting. Even though I had a guide with me who looked after me and gave me instructions on what to do and what not to do.
So, now I would like to introduce this lady to you. This is an approximately 1 meter long bird viper (Trimeresurus vogeli). Even if its name suggests otherwise, it feeds mainly on reptiles and small mammals. Even though I know that it is not considered highly venomous, it was still the encounter that impressed me most during my hike today in Khao Yai National Park in Thailand.
Meine bisherigen Begegnungen mit Schlangen fanden immer Rahmen von Zoobesuchen statt. Und da waren diese faszinierenden Tiere hinter Glas verborgen und ich war in absoluter Sicherheit.
Da fühlt es sich schon um Einiges anders an, wenn Du Dich einem solchen nicht ganz ungefährlichem Geschöpf in freier Wildbahn auf weniger als einen Meter Entfernung näherst und immer damit rechnest, dass die Lady sich in Deine Richtung bewegt. Ich hatte schon ordentlich Puls während dieses shootings. Auch wenn ich einen Guide dabei hatte, der auf mich aufgepasst hat und der mir Anweisungen gegeben hat was ich zu tun und zu lassen habe.
So, nun will ich Euch diese Lady einmal vorstellen. Dies ist eine ungefähr 1 Meter lange Vogel Viper (Trimeresurus vogeli). Auch, wenn ihr Name etwas anderes vermuten lässt ernährt sie sich hauptsächlich von Reptilien und kleinen Säugetieren.
Auch wenn ich weiß, dass sie nicht als hochgifig gilt, war sie trotzdem die mich am meisten beeindruckende Begegnung bei meiner heutigen Wanderung im Khao Yai Nationalpark in Thailand.

Portrait of a Truong Son Pit Viper.
An absolutely spectacular adult male Truong Son Pit Viper found coiled in an ambush posture within an elevated, shallow rock cleft at a limestone cave entrance at dusk in karst rainforest within the magnificent Phong Nha-Ke Bang NP in the Quang Binh Province of central Vietnam.
This species was quite recently described. It is currently regarded as endemic to the karst rainforest incorporating the Annamite Mountain Range, an area notable for its overall high endemism and species diversity. It is an area recently subjected to intensive scientific scrutiny because of these attributes. For example, a collaboration between German and Vietnamese researchers culminated in 46 published papers dealing with the herpetofauna of Phong Nha - Ke Bang alone, from 2000-2009!
In line with so many species recorded from the Annamite region that are currently regarded as endemic for Vietnam, it's occurrence in similar habitats in neighbouring Laos cannot be excluded.
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR coupled to a vintage Contax/Yashica mount 55mm/2.8 Yashica ML 1:2 macro lens from the 1970's. Shot hand-held with manual focus/settings @ f.11 with a TTL dual flash set up.

Yes this was taken in the forest!
I went herping with a friend and a famous scientist from Germany. Found three of this species plus other snakes. Had a great time until it started raining heavily.

🇫🇷 Trimeresurus albolabris, Crotale des arbres à lèvres blanches, est une espèce de serpents fréquent en asie Le crotale des bambous ou vipère verte des bambous vit dans les épais sous-bois des forêts tropicales et dans les plantations ainsi que dans la jungle et dans la mangrove côtière.
C'est un serpent venimeux de couleur vert vif, avec une face ventrale plus pâle .( conséquences douloureuses pour l’homme ,même si risque mortel peu élevé )
Les femelles sont d'un vert uniforme, en particulier la tête et sont les plus grandes, pouvant atteindre 80 cm de long ; les mâles ont une ligne blanche non brisée qui s'étirent le long de leur flanc, tête incluse ("lèvres blanches"), et sont plus petits, pouvant atteindre seulement 60 cm.
Chasseur nocturne aux mœurs arboricoles,. Il utilise ses fossettes thermosensibles localisées entre ses yeux et ses narines pour s'aider à repérer ses proies surtout des rongeurs (rats, souris) et parfois des grenouilles. Ce crotale a des crochets rétractables relativement longs qui lui permettent d'inoculer son venin.
Les crotales des bambous se reproduisent après la saison des pluies. Ce serpent est ovovivipare, il peut donner naissance entre 8 et 12 petits crotales déjà formés d'un vingtaine de centimètres.
🇬🇧 Trimeresurus albolabris, the white-lipped tree rattlesnake, is a species of snake common in Asia. The bamboo rattlesnake or green bamboo viper lives in the thick undergrowth of tropical forests and plantations, as well as in the jungle and coastal mangroves.
It is a venomous snake, bright green in colour, with a paler ventral side (painful for humans, although the risk of death is low).
Females are uniformly green, especially the head, and are the largest, up to 80 cm long; males have an unbroken white line running down their flank, including the head ("white lips"), and are smaller, up to only 60 cm.
A nocturnal hunter with an arboreal lifestyle, it uses its heat-sensitive dimples located between its eyes and nostrils to help it spot its prey, mainly rodents (rats, mice) and sometimes frogs. This rattlesnake has relatively long retractable fangs that enable it to inoculate its venom.
Bamboo rattlesnakes reproduce after the rainy season. This snake is ovoviviparous, and can give birth to between 8 and 12 small, already formed rattlesnakes measuring around twenty centimetres.
🇪🇸 Trimeresurus albolabris, la serpiente de cascabel arbórea de labios blancos, es una especie de serpiente común en Asia. La serpiente de cascabel del bambú o víbora verde del bambú vive en el espeso sotobosque de bosques y plantaciones tropicales, así como en la selva y los manglares costeros.
Es una serpiente venenosa, de color verde brillante, con la parte ventral más pálida (dolorosa para el ser humano, aunque el riesgo de muerte es bajo).
Las hembras son uniformemente verdes, sobre todo la cabeza, y son las más grandes, de hasta 80 cm de longitud; los machos tienen una línea blanca ininterrumpida que les recorre el flanco, incluida la cabeza ("labios blancos"), y son más pequeños, de sólo 60 cm.
Es una cazadora nocturna con un estilo de vida arborícola, que utiliza sus hoyuelos sensibles al calor, situados entre los ojos y las fosas nasales, para detectar a sus presas, principalmente roedores (ratas, ratones) y a veces ranas. Esta serpiente de cascabel tiene unos colmillos retráctiles relativamente largos que le permiten inocular su veneno.
La serpiente de cascabel de bambú se reproduce después de la estación de lluvias. Esta serpiente es ovovivípara, y puede dar a luz entre 8 y 12 pequeños crótalos ya formados de unos veinte centímetros.

Thanks in advance for your views, favorites, and supportive comments.
Malcolm's pit vipers are large, vibrantly coloured snakes endemic to Mount Kinabalu, Sabah. This species was the number one snake I was hoping to see on this trip, and I honestly still cant believe we managed to find one! It was certainly one of the most impressive snakes I've had the fortune to encounter and photograph. Unfortunately I had to resort using my macro lens, as my 24-105mm (which I would have much rather used on this snake) developed an electrical fault that very day.. talk about terrible timing!
This snake has to be one of the most aggressive vipers I've come across, and would enthusiastically strike if we got within a couple of metres of it. It also made no attempt to get away, in fact quite the opposite.. on several occasions it tried to sneakily close the distance between us when we turned our attention away from it

Northern Malaysia
Synonyms: Popeia fucata.
Red-over-white postorbital stripes (i.e. those immediately behind the eye) occur in many specimens, but in others, this feature too may be entirely absent (pic).
In some populations this feature may occur exclusively in males, though this is not conclusive. Regular, faint dark or red banding may occur over the back. The skin between the scales (interstitial skin) can have a bluish tinge. The belly is pale green. Iris colour may vary from orange-red to yellow to green.
