Ibintu by'ukuri

Newborn snakes are already venomous and fully independent, so their mother leaves them as soon as they are born.1

Young snakes have a dark olive colour with wavy bars. Their adult colours develop within 3 to 4 months.1

Breeding in captivity needs very high humidity.1

Captive keepers and breeders often call it simply a "Squam".1

It is the most widely distributed species in its genus, Atheris.1
