Wagler's pit viper is a venomous snake that lives in the forests of Southeast Asia. It spends most of its life in trees and is sometimes called the temple viper, because it is common around the Temple of the Azure Cloud in Malaysia. Its venom has also been used in scientific research.1

It prefers forest, from sea level up to 400 m (1,300 ft). It is almost entirely arboreal, meaning it lives in trees, and its prehensile tail helps it climb.1

Tge mangia el?

Its main prey is rodents, birds and lizards. It stays motionless for long periods, waiting for prey to pass, then strikes quickly. Pits on each side of its head, between the eye and nostril, detect small temperature differences.1

Females can reach about 1 m (39 in) in total length, including the tail, and are black with yellow stripes.1
Males typically do not exceed 75 cm (29.5 in). They have large triangular heads and relatively thin green bodies.1
The species has many colour forms. Some are black or brown with orange and yellow banding, and others are light green with yellow or orange banding.1
It is nocturnal, so it is active at night, and it often stays still for long periods.1

The venom contains four peptides (small protein chains) called waglerins. In studies on mice, waglerin-1 blocked signals passing from nerves to muscles. Waglerins caused fatal breathing paralysis in adult mice.1

bun da savair

Fatgs

Its pits can detect temperature differences as small as 0.003 °C (0.0054 °F).1

Waglerins, the peptides in its venom, are useful tools for studying how nerves and muscles connect.1

Females and males look very different, so the sexes were once hard to tell apart as one animal.1

Its many colour forms, called phases, were once thought by some researchers to be separate subspecies.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: Waglerin-1 smooths wrinkles, so it is safe to use in skin creams for that purpose.

Vardad: Waglerin-1 is included in some skin creams marketed as wrinkle removers, but there is no scientific evidence that it relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles.1
