Ibintu by'ukuri
Its prehensile tail acts as an anchor when resting and helps it grab prey when it strikes.1
Blue specimens are sometimes found in the wild, not only in captivity.1
Juveniles are brown, and it takes about 18–24 months for them to change to adult colours.1
A polyvalent antivenin that covers this species is produced by the Instituto Clodomiro Picado in Costa Rica.1
