The western bush viper is a venomous snake that lives in the forests of West Africa. It spends much of its time up in bushes and trees, where its bright green colour helps it blend in. It matters because its venom can cause life-threatening harm, and there is no antivenom for it.1

Its venom can lead to major systemic envenoming, which means the effects spread through the whole body. Other effects include shock, blood loss due to coagulopathy (the blood cannot clot properly), and renal failure (kidney failure).1

Xibaar

Its colour changes as it grows: the reverse of the adult pattern is only seen in young snakes under 25 cm long.1

2

Records from Nigeria, Cameroon and Gabon are considered erroneous, so it is not known to live there.1
