The hump-nosed viper is a small, stout pit viper with an upturned snout that ends in a hump. It lives in India and Sri Lanka, in jungle and coffee plantations. It matters because its bite can cause serious harm, and for a long time it was wrongly thought to be harmless.1

Bites were once thought to be harmless, but they are now known to be serious. It is the snake that causes the highest number of recorded snake bites in Sri Lanka. It is now considered highly venomous and is one of the medically important venomous snakes in Sri Lanka and on the south-west coast of India.1

When annoyed it vibrates its tail, a warning behaviour it shares with other pit vipers such as rattlesnakes, and it can make fast strikes despite being a slow mover.1
