Engeri y'okukitegeera

  • Adults are short and very stout, usually 46 to 61 cm in total length.1
  • The body is tan, light brown or grey, with about 20 dark brown or black diamond-shaped (rhomboid) blotches along the back.1
  • The lower tips of the blotches often join spots on the sides to form narrow crossbands.1
  • The top of the head is dark, with dark stripes running back from the eyes, and the side of the head is lighter.1
  • The belly is whitish, sometimes with dark brown blotches.1

Kitera okutabulwa ne: Young bushmasters (Lachesis muta) have been mistaken for this snake. The Mexican jumping pit viper can be told apart because it lacks the specialised tail tip of the bushmaster.1
