Ni ngay ko xàmmee

  • It has two to three enlarged, horn-like structures above each eye.1
  • It is an arboreal forest viper, so it lives in trees and bushes.1
  • It can grow to a total length of 64.3 cm, which is large for a viper of its kind.1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It looks most like the Usambara bush viper (Atheris ceratophora), since both have horn-like structures above the eyes. Matilda's horned viper is larger, and the largest recorded Usambara bush viper measured 51.0 cm.1
