Chokwadi

1

On Okinawa, habus are heavily collected to make habushu, a liquor made from awamori sake, which is said to have medicinal properties.1

2

Unlike most pit vipers, the habu lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young.1

3

Hatchlings are about 25 cm long and look the same as the adults.1

4

The small Indian mongoose was introduced to Okinawa in 1910 to reduce the habu population. The effects of this have not been studied, but similar introductions have harmed native wildlife.1

5

The habu is the largest member of its genus, Protobothrops.1
