Maziviro ayo

  • Two bold white or yellowish stripes run along each side of the face.1
  • The body has a pattern of black and grey-brown bands, accented with white, yellow and orange.1
  • Males are noticeably darker than females, and some older males become nearly black.1
  • The tail ends in a small, downturned, spine-like scale.1
  • Adults are stout and medium-sized, usually 64 to 90 cm long.1

Inowanzovhiringidzwa ne: Other members of the genus Agkistrodon differ in several ways. The cottonmouth and Conant's cantil lack the loreal scale that Taylor's cantil has, and the copperhead and broad-banded cantil lack its face stripes. Taylor's cantil also has fewer subcaudal scales than the other cantils, 45 to 56 in males and 40 to 47 in females.1
