它吃什么？

It hunts lizards, small rodents and orthopterans (insects such as grasshoppers and crickets). Because its venom is potent, its prey digests very quickly.1

怎样认出它

Light brown to grey background colour with a dark brown to black zigzag pattern along the back, often broken into pieces.1
A single row of small dark blotches on each side of the body.1
Belly with many grey or black dots. Females have a greyer belly, while males' bellies are almost black.1
Chin shields and lip scales are white, with a few dark fang-shaped marks on the lip scales.1
Adult males are brighter, with a yellow tint and a dark, often black, pattern. Females are browner, with a fainter pattern. Females reach up to 42.1 cm in total length.1

常被误认为： It is often compared with Vipera eriwanensis. That species has a pinkish tint on its lip scales, while Darevsky's viper has white lip scales with dark fang-shaped marks.1

Remains of this snake have been found in the droppings of a beech marten, although little is known about its natural enemies.1

Newborns feed on the yolk left inside them for their first two weeks, and they grow without eating before their first shed.1
