The variable bush viper is a venomous snake that lives in the rainforests of west and central Africa. It is a tree-dwelling viper that blends in well with the leaves of the bushes it hunts in. Its bite can cause serious harm, so it is important to recognise it.1

Anndal

1

Newborn snakes are already venomous and fully independent, so their mother leaves them as soon as they are born.1

2

Young snakes have a dark olive colour with wavy bars. Their adult colours develop within 3 to 4 months.1

3

Breeding in captivity needs very high humidity.1

4

Captive keepers and breeders often call it simply a "Squam".1

5

It is the most widely distributed species in its genus, Atheris.1
