The terciopelo is a large pit viper, one of the biggest vipers in the world. It lives from north-east Mexico through Central America to northern South America. It is important to know because it causes more envenomated snakebites than any other snake in its range.1

It likes moist places at low to middle elevations, mostly tropical rainforest and evergreen forest, and it is often found near rivers and streams. It is most often met near people, livestock and pets, where it lives close to homes and farms.1

It is a generalist that eats a wide range of animals, including rats, mice, frogs, lizards, birds, opossums and insects. It waits in leaf litter or under forest cover to ambush prey that come within range at night.1

It is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in its range because it is large, has big fangs and a potent venom, and lives close to people. It is responsible for the most envenomated snakebites within its range. Bites usually happen only when the snake is cornered, pursued or threatened.1

Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?

When cornered or threatened, it may perform an S-shaped coiled display and can be very defensive, sometimes suddenly reversing direction to attack.1

Humpito

1

Juveniles can lure prey by waving brightly coloured tail tips. Only males have bright tail tips, though both sexes show this behaviour.1

2

It is one of the largest vipers in the world, and it is often called 'the ultimate pit-viper' by herpetologists.1

3

Females are much bigger than males. The two sexes are born the same size, but females grow much faster from about 7 to 12 months of age.1

4

Its home range is small for a pit viper, averaging between about 3.7 and 6 hectares.1

Feññinoowo fenaande

Fenaande: Fer-de-lance is the name of one single snake species.

Goonga: The name fer-de-lance has been used informally for several Bothrops species, including this one. Herpetologists now prefer the name terciopelo for Bothrops asper.1
