Uko wayimenya

A stout, medium-sized snake, up to 96 cm long including the tail.1
Light to medium reddish-brown body with broad brown crossbands: 10 to 14 in males and 13 to 17 in females.1
Two pale stripes on each side of the head.1
Chin and throat are orange or orange-brown, lighter than the belly.1
Large adult males are often very dark. Young snakes are paler, sometimes bright red.1

Ikunze kwitiranywa na: Copperheads lack the two pale stripes on each side of the face, and cottonmouths lack the loreal scale (a small scale between the eye and nostril). Other cantils have a lower face stripe that runs straight and unbroken, while in this species it dips below the pit.1

Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?

Lab tests suggest the venom is highly toxic and similar to that of its close relative Agkistrodon bilineatus, and potentially lethal. No clinical reports of bites had been published as of 1999, so the effects on people are not well documented.1

No clinical reports of bites had been published as of 1999, so there is little human data on its danger. Lab analysis suggests the venom could be lethal.1

Ibintu by'ukuri

Its diet changes as it grows: young snakes eat cold-blooded prey such as frogs and lizards, while adults eat warm-blooded prey such as mice and rats.1

It is a rare snake, found only along a narrow strip of lowland less than 400 km long.1

In the 1990s, searches in the Gulf of Fonseca area of Honduras found very few, or possibly no, snakes.1
