Wagler’s Pit Viper
Also known as:
Wagler’s Viper, Wagler’s Palm Viper, Temple Viper, Temple Pit Viper, Speckled Pit Viper, Bamboo Snake
This beautiful Wagler's Pit Viper, spotted at some distance by the eagle-eyed Kurt "Orion" G, was the highlight of my first night in Malaysia. The banded pattern is the hallmark of an adult female.
