The White-Lipped Pit Viper is a brilliant emerald green species of poisonous snake that is native to Southeast Asia. The aren’t too big, growing to a maximum length of 81cm, but that’s big enough when you’ve got poison. They aren’t a threatened species nor are they a particularly threatening one and they’ll be happy to leave you alone if you return the favour.
