Protobothrops mangshanensis

[Yann]

Hi!!

2 weeks ago there was an open day at the Vivarium of Lausanne.
They have a huge collection of venomous snake and threatened species

their website: Accueil | Vivarium de Lausanne

Among them and probably the highlight Protobothrops mangshanensis

A chinese viper that lives in a very small region
It has among the longest hook of all snake, reaching around 5cm (2in)
It can inject up to 1.5ml of venom

Here a few pictures of this deadly beauty:

Cheers

C'est super beau! Mais j'en aurais pas chez moi, j'essaierai encore moins de pisser dans leur terra, même bourré :lol:
