Wagler's pit viper is a venomous snake that lives in the forests of Southeast Asia. It spends most of its life in trees and is sometimes called the temple viper, because it is common around the Temple of the Azure Cloud in Malaysia. Its venom has also been used in scientific research.1

It prefers forest, from sea level up to 400 m (1,300 ft). It is almost entirely arboreal, meaning it lives in trees, and its prehensile tail helps it climb.1

Its main prey is rodents, birds and lizards. It stays motionless for long periods, waiting for prey to pass, then strikes quickly. Pits on each side of its head, between the eye and nostril, detect small temperature differences.1

The venom contains four peptides (small protein chains) called waglerins. In studies on mice, waglerin-1 blocked signals passing from nerves to muscles. Waglerins caused fatal breathing paralysis in adult mice.1

Xibaar

1

Its pits can detect temperature differences as small as 0.003 °C (0.0054 °F).1

2

Waglerins, the peptides in its venom, are useful tools for studying how nerves and muscles connect.1

3

Females and males look very different, so the sexes were once hard to tell apart as one animal.1

4

Its many colour forms, called phases, were once thought by some researchers to be separate subspecies.1

Tasukatu léeb

Xalaat bu juum: Waglerin-1 smooths wrinkles, so it is safe to use in skin creams for that purpose.

Dëgg: Waglerin-1 is included in some skin creams marketed as wrinkle removers, but there is no scientific evidence that it relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles.1
