The Uzungwe viper is a small, rare snake that lives only on a few mountains in south-central Tanzania, in Africa. It lives on the ground in bushes and bamboo, and it mainly eats slugs and worms. Because it has such a tiny home range, it is special to scientists who study it.1

Hello arano
It lives on the ground in bushes and bamboo undergrowth on mountain slopes, at about 1,800 m (5,900 ft). Moist forest is preferred, but it has also been found in the gardens of tea farms.1

Hono anndirtee ngal

  • Small snake, reaching only 40 cm (16 in) in total length including the tail.1
  • Broad, triangular head that is clearly separate from the neck, with a short, rounded snout.1
  • Brown to blackish brown body with a pair of zigzag stripes running from the back of the head to the tail. The stripes may break into a chain of darker diamond-shaped blotches down the back.1
  • Belly is greenish white to olive.1
  • Relatively short tail that is not used for gripping.1

No jiibondiree e: It is similar to Montatheris hindii and Proatheris superciliaris, which are also ground-living vipers. The zigzag stripes and short tail are the features to note.1

No cases of bite have been recorded. Because its range is very small, bites are unlikely to occur.1
